Jansen -- 5 & 6 Months

I am combining Jansen's 5 and 6 months posts because I am that.far.behind...eeeek! He actually turned 7 months yesterday but I'll do that post separately...hopefully this weekend.



Highlights from Jansen's 5th and 6th month:

- He was 19 lbs. and 25 inches at his 6 month visit
-Switched pediatricians and were referred to Cranial Technologies to look at possibly getting a DOC band for his head. (That experience deserves its own post later on)
- Sleep...what is sleep?? My sweet boy seemed to not need any! I got to where I couldn't even count the amount of times he woke up during the night. Holy moly that was a rough couple of months.
-Took every nap in his crib like a champ...night time was a little bit tougher though. 
-Started cereal at 5 months and veggies at 6 months.
-Gnawed on everything in sight...I knew it wouldn't be long before those teeth came in.
-LOVED his jumperoo...that boy could give Tigger a run for his money!
-Wanted to be in the middle of everyone all.the.time. Heaven forbid he be left out of what was going on.
-Rode in the stroller like a big boy...no more car seat on the stroller!
-Spent lots of time hanging out in the bumbo. 
-Became captivated by Super Why which is Sawyer's absolute favorite show. Both of the kids are in love with that show and as a former Kindergarten teacher, I can't help but love it too! 
-Began sleeping on his tummy at 6 months. 
-We moved bed time up to 6:30 and really put a good night time routine in place. This made a HUGE difference in sleep training him. 
- Started his new daycare :) My kiddos are finally at the same daycare...makes momma's day afternoons so much easier!
-Began sitting up on his own at 6 months. Sawyer loved that Bubba could sit up and play with her now. If he decided to lay back down she would say, "Mommy, Bubba sit up" over and over until I sat him back up. That little girl LOVES her brother! 
-Celebrated his 1st Easter and his sister's 2nd birthday. 
-Never stopped smiling...or so it seemed. We thought Sawyer was the happiest baby ever, but JT has got her beat. Everyone always comments on how happy he is and that he is always smiling. What can I say...we make happy babies :)

This picture makes my mommy heart burst. The day Sawyer turned 2 and JT turned 6 months.

How can you not fall in love with this face?
She absolutely ADORES her Bubba.
