Fisher is 6 Months Old!










*Fisher weighs  16.4 pounds (he's dropped a little less than the 50th percentile, so we'll go back in a month for a weight check), is 27 inches long (75th percentile), and his head is 17 inches (25-50th percentile).







*He wears cloth diapers  and 3-6 month outfits.






*He can roll over!! He has been able to roll from front to back for a few months, but just started rolling from back to front the day before he turned 6 months old.




*He's sleeping in his bed every night







*Breastfeeding every 2.5-3.5 hours (when he takes a bottle, it's usually 5-8 ounces). He's back to sleeping through the night again! He will wake up anywhere from 2-5 and "talk" for a little while, but he goes back to sleep until 6-7. Then, he'll nurse and usually go back to sleep for a few more hours. I want to work on getting him to bed earlier; right now he doesn't go to sleep until 830-930.


* He has now tried oatmeal, cereal, and sweet potatoes. He's not the biggest fan of any of them. yet.





*LOVES to be outside! He can be screaming his head off, and will instantly be quiet when you step outside. He also is loving the dogs right now. He loves to sit on Lenny and grab her ears. He also loves it when the dogs "attack" him-we'll chase them around and when they turn and jump up in the air, he laughs so hard!






*He is smiling, laughing, and cooing all of the time! He's a talker! :)







*He loves to be in his jumperoo or his Johnny Jump up.






*Loves to be held





*He chews on his fingers a lot. He's not sucking his thumb as often, but he'll still do it occasionally.



*Loves bath time and loves to kick and splash




* He has two teeth! He has both of his bottom front teeth.





*Nicknames:  Budders, Fish, Fisher-man, Fishy, Tooters







Happy 6 months Fisher!!!
