Declan - 6 months old

I am glad I just stumbled upon Carter's 6 month post! Glad it reminded me to do one for Declan. I loved going back and reading what Carter was doing at this age. I cannot believe how quickly he went from 6 months old to 3.5! I'll have to remember to do a 3.5 year old post for Carter - so I don't forget all the crazy things he says!


Declan is 6 months & 2 days old.


-Can roll from stomach to back but not very consistantly
-Can roll from back to stomach but not very consistantly
-Has many many nicknames. They include D, D-ster, little mister, little dude and our favorite is Decky. Carter almost exclusively calls him Decky.
-LOVES to stand and jump! This kid goes crazy in the jumperoo.
-Is still spitting up. A LOT! We've been to the pedi, CHOP and the chiropractor. Nothing has helped. At least he smiles while doing it!
-We hold D A LOT! He spits up pretty much evey time we lay him down so he is in our arms quite often. We don't mind :-) The doctors even say they can tell we hold him a lot b/c you have a perfectly shaped head! No flat spot from the crib :-)
-We just switched D from an infant car seat to a convertible carseat. He did not like the angle of the infant seat and would puke almost every time we put him in it.
-Very good at holding toys. He will put something down and pick it back up. Will also switch toys between hands.
-Is BALD! He is starting to grow some light hair but still can't see it unless you are up real close.
-Has the longest fingers! We constantly get comments about how he must be either a basketball player or piano player when he grows up.
-Sits up by himself when he wants to. Most of the time he would rather try and stand!
-He knows his name and will turn in your direction when you call his name or speak to him.
-He loves giving raspberries
-He LOVES his big brother Carter. They "talk" all the time and crack each other up in the car.
-He likes to grab onto anything and everything.
-He loves biting faces, necks and anything he can get into his mouth.
-He loves looking at pictures of himself.
-He loves the TV.
-He sleeps unswaddled on his belly
-Our bedtime routine is bath with mommy, diaper, massage, PJs, feed with mommy then lights out! Most nights he sleeps from 7pm and 6:30am and gets up 1-2 times at night to eat. Naps can be up to 2 hours at daycare but more like 45 minutes at home.
-He is eating between 5-6 liquid meals a day and eating solids for breakfast or dinner.
-Solids he has eaten - sweet potatoes, pears, avacado, banana and squash
-Favorite solids: pears
-Least favorite solids: sweet potatoes
-He is wearing 6 and 9 month clothing. 6 month clothing is too short but 9 month is too baggy.

I am going to take D's 6 month picture tomorrow so I will be sure to post!
