As I write this blog I have a screaming baby up in his crib. Why is he screaming you ask? Well, we have no idea. He usually goes down to bed fine and may wake in the night but not this early. I fear a bad, bad night ahead. I've checked on him and covered all the bases but he is not happy. At all. An unhappy baby is a confused and frustrated parent, but i remain calm.
Well, until i go back up and check on him again i suppose i will continue. Wake just turned six months this past week. He had his checkup yesterday and he is 16lb.3oz. He is a little on the small side (although he doesn't look it), but there is plenty of him to love (even when he is wailing)! He is now sitting up on his own which is probably his biggest milestone this month. He loves to act like a big boy! He grabs everything in his path and wants to put it all in his mouth. I fear the grabbing crawler that is in the foreseeable future!
Wait...i think he stopped crying...could it be? 40 minutes later...holding breath, holding breath...
Wake is also eating more solids now. I've expanded his edible delights to oatmeal (which he loves the most), carrots, peas, prunes, sweet potatoes, bananas, applesauce, watery apple juice, and bitter biscuits and pickles which he likes to suck on thru his mesh bag feeder. I've been preparing all of his food on my own so he gets that extra special mama touch. A touch he probably will never really appreciate, but i do it for me cause i like to cook and i like to make him healthy.
Three minutes and still asleep...please, please stay asleep at least until 5am. Please...
My favorite thing he does now is while i'm holding him he will sometimes just stare at me and take in my face. Kind of like he is trying to understand me and what i'm feeling and doing in that moment. I can see him out the corner of my eye doing this and then i will look over at him and he will draw his face back and make the cutest little double chin and then he will light up with a smile you just want to eat up it is so sweet. Maybe this is something only I can understand but it will be one of those moments that I will always think of as he grows up.
Well, 9 minutes and he is still sleeping so I am going to sign out now and go watch Grey's Anatomy. And then hopefully...sleep!
