Jonathan is now 6 months old and I can't believe where the time has gone! We had his well child check up on Friday and boy is he big! He is now 27.75 inches long (90th percentile), 19 pounds 5 ounces (80th percentile), and his head circumference is in the 97th percentile! Looking back at Matt's stats at 6 months, Jonathan is 1/4" shorter and a whole pound heavier.
We have made a lot of growth in other areas recently. Jonathan just started to find some consonants, finally! His vowels are getting a bit loud these days and we can't wait for a bit more da da, ba ba, and ma ma. He is still not a big fan of tummy time, but we are powering through it and get a bit of propping on his elbows. He is now sitting up by himself and loving it. We have to make sure he has some padding around him, just in case, but he's doing better each day.
We have had such different experiences with Jonathan compared to Matt, especially when it comes to sleeping. We have been rocking Jonathan to sleep all this time, but he's fighting it recently and also spitting out and playing with the pacifier. With the old ways thrown aside, we started to let him cry and figure things out for himself. He is doing well, decreasing the cries and increasing the babbling and sighs between them each night. He even soothed himself into his nap today at daycare! We're on our way!
He started solid foods about a month ago and has worked his way up to 3 meals a day this week. He seems to enjoy it more than I ever imagined. He was getting a bit jealous at mealtimes and staring at our food as if he wanted some for himself, so we started the rice cereal and went from there. You can see he is enjoying the food, and sitting in his big boy chair to eat!
