Colby is 6 months old !!!
Stats: 17 lb 2 oz - 48th percentile
27.5 inches- 80th percentile!
Colby started eating solid food! He has been eating about 5 tbs of rice cereal every night for 2 months, but we just made and stored tons of homemade organic baby food for him for night too! He has had peas and carrots so far! Green beans, peaches, and sweet potatoes are next!! He loves them! We keep having the camera ready for the "gross face" picture, but he hasn't yet! He loves them!!!
Now, he has about 4 tbs of rice cereal in the morning (soon to be fruit and cereal once we start him on fruits!) And he eats about 4 oz of baby food and 3 oz of rice cereal at night! It is safe to say he is a good eater!
New things...Colby...
Colby is a belly sleeper. He goes to sleep on his back and within 10 seconds, he has flipped to his belly!
He smiles at everything! Nothing too new , just adorable!
Scoots and is beginning to start to crawl--kinda! He is up on his hands and knees a lot--and sort of rocks back and forth.
Loves remotes and phones--a possible techie-in-the making? Or perhaps he just likes the feeling on his teething gums!? We even found him a teething universal remote - so he stops drooling all over ours :)
Teething. At least the beginnings of it!
Is a pool baby! He loves it and kicks his legs like he is swimming in the water! Another water baby like me!
Things we look forward to: going on a special trip to West Virginia to visit some very special friends....
Going to a wedding in a beautiful part of Virginia in August where Colby will be hanging out with gramma and grampa Bogert while mommy and daddy attend the wedding!
More pool time!
Trying more foods!! Doctor z said Colby will likely be eating meat a month or two sooner than other babies his age b/c he has a preference for thick consistencies (he likes his food and cereal lumpy like mashed potatoes, not runny like spaghetti sauce, like normal babies) Doctor z said that that is usually a sign babies are tray or more texture and tastes! He even suggested we add things like cinnamon, mint, basil etc to his veggies to help him like adult flavors! He loves his sweet potatoes with cinnamon and peas with mint!! :)
We are ao happy and blessed with Colby!!! Happy half year buddy!
