6 Months!

Our "little" Shawn McKay is 6 months old today. He hasn't had his 6-month check up, but according to our kitchen scale, he's between 18 and 19 lbs. He has turned into such a chunk! He still fits into many of his 6-9 month clothes, but really needs 9-12 now, especially with the cloth diapers. I took these last night - he was wearing 12 month pj's and they were snug...

 Shawn is still not sleeping that great, but we're starting to work on that. He take 2-3 naps a day, usually about 45 minutes to an hour, but sometimes 2 hours. He goes to bed between 8 and 9 and "sleeps" until 7 ish, but he's up several times in there and then in bed with me for a 5-6 hour chunk in the middle. He is still swaddled, so we need to tackle that next, but he is sleeping in his bed now instead of in his swing most of the time.
He still nurses (!) and takes up to 30 oz of formula a day, in 3-4 oz bottles. He tried his first food this week - little bites of pear. His favorite home activity is bouncing like a crazy person in his jumper or having his siblings sing to him. He loves to be out and about and see new things. He loves swimming.

He just barely started rolling from tummy to back occassionally and is not quite ready to sit up yet. It's possible that since he gained so quickly, his little muscles are still working on catching up. :) He is teething like crazy (that's an amber teething necklace, not a fashion statement) and I can see/feel one bottom tooth ready to break through any day, we hope. We love our little chub-a-lub and can't imagine life without him!
