Baker is Six Months Old!

* Baker weighs 16 lbs 4 oz (25% percentile) and is 27 inches long (75th percentile).
* He wears size 3-6/6-9 month clothes, and he wears size small cloth diapers and size 3 disposable diapers. 
*He's definitely a cat napper. He is rotten and won't really sleep unless he's being held, so he really only takes a longer nap in the afternoon while the older boys are sleeping and I get a chance to sit down! He'll nap for a long time in the carrier, too. 
*We've had some regression in the sleep department. He had an ear infection and cut a tooth at the same time, so he started waking up every 2 hours, which he barely even did as a newborn. Thankfully, that seems to be resolving. 
* He nurses all the time-anywhere from every 30 minutes to every 2 hours
*He's taking a bottle like a champ now! He'll take anywhere from 3-5 ounces at a time while I'm gone. He does start crying and fussing as soon as he sees me when I come home, though. 
*His eyes are still blue. They change all the time; sometimes they're more of a gray blue, but they're usually pretty dark. 
*He sucks on his fingers all the time. This creates a lot of drool!
 *He's sitting up by himself! I still don't leave his side when he does it since he's still wobbly. 
*He rolls everywhere!
*He has a tooth! He has one of his bottom teeth.
*He loves to sleep on his belly! I let him sleep like this when he naps on the play mat. 
* He loves to be swaddled and sleeps best that way
*He likes to lay on his play mat and has started grabbing at his toys and trying to eat them. He loves to hold things and it's so cute to see him try to focus on his toys and grab them.
*He smiles and coos all the time! He loves to "talk"
*He is ticklish! He laughs so hard when I tickle him! I love seeing the dimple on his cheek pop out when he is smiling big.
*He is so rotten! He loves to be held and lets you know (very loudly) that he doesn't like it when he gets put down. 
*He tolerates bath time. He doesn't scream or cry, but he doesn't act like he loves it either!
* The older boys are still madly in love with him! They are always kissing on him and petting him. They want to sit right beside him all the time. it's so very sweet.
