6 months old!

Doesn't he look dapper?

All those toys, and the measuring spoons make him happy!

Seth is doing really well. He had his 6 month check-up last week and weighed in at 18 lbs, 15 oz. He was 26 1/4 inches, and he took his shots like a little champ. (Ok, not really, but I'll remember it that way if I want to.) He's sleeping much better, although still not sleeping through the night. He's eating well -- he likes everything we've tried, including peaches now!

It's been awhile...

It's been awhile since my last post. There have been lots of changes going on for Seth. His night sleeping got progressively worse. He started waking up every hour or two, with waking every 5-10 minutes every other hour. After weeks of total chaos and sleep deprivation, I made the decision to start sleep training. For those mommies (or daddies) who have had to go this route, you know this wasn't an easy decision. Nothing about listening to your baby cry is easy. I did a "check and console" type of thing, and it worked. Praise God, it worked. He is now back to just waking to eat and go right back to sleep. Now if only we could get naps on some kind of schedule...

In more fun news, Seth is enjoying his journey into food. So far, sweet potatoes are the biggest hit. He likes the squash a lot, and pears are pretty good. I have the only baby ever known to humankind who doesn't care for peaches.

He's changing so much every day. And so am I.
