Somehow our sweet little Davis turned 6 months old! I can barely believe that this sweet baby has been in our family this long. He's been such a bundle of absolutely joy and cuteness and we are all pretty obsessed with him! His hair is coming in a little thicker these days and it's becoming more and more obvious that it is RED! I love it. I think it's so darling! And because of his coloring, we call him our little sweet potato.
Davis loves food! He's still nursing all day (and all night) long, but he gets two meals a day of solids and loves them! I'd say peaches and sweet potatoes are his clear favorites, but he also eats squash, green beans, peas, applesauce, carrots, bananas and avocado. Chase sometimes will feed him while I'm busy with something else and it's fulfilling a dream of Chase's (he's been talking about helping to spoon feed him since last fall when I was pregnant!).
Davis gives great smiles and cute little laughs. He's a very social baby and will grin at just about anyone who engages him. His little dimple wins everyone over.
Davis loves to be outside. When he gets really fussy (usually in the evenings) all we have to do is go walk him around outside and he usually calms right down. He's starting to love toys now and is interested in everything! The other day we handed him a washcloth and it entertained him for like 15 minutes!
Sleep- oh man, he's the worst sleeper! We've now tried to have him cry-it-out twice (3 nights each time) and it FAILED. He's persistent and apparently really not feeling it! So I still feed him at least twice every night, and frequently have to make 1-3 other visits into his room to put his binky back in and calm him down. He breaks out of his swaddle, but then he can't sleep unswaddled. It's been a process. We are hoping once he learns to sleep without a swaddle that overall sleep will improve.
He's still just a tiny thing. At his 6 month doctor appointment he was 13 pounds 14 oz- which puts him on the 1 percentile in weight. He's 25 inches, which puts him on the 7th percentile. He's just a little thing. But otherwise totally healthy and strong and happy (as long as I don't set him down). I guess it's nice that he's such a lightweight since I carry him around all day long.
Davis has really been such a joy in our family. We are all so thankful this sweet baby came to us! I love all my chances to snuggle with him. When he's really happy to see me he tries to eat my face (possibly he's trying to give me kisses, I can't really tell, I'm just covered in his slobber all the time). He's brought so much love and happiness with him and we are so lucky to have him!
