6 Months Old

Our baby is now 6 months (half a year!) old!!
Preston loves bath time, ice in a net (to suck on), and to be held. He is now a pro at flipping over from back to stomach to back, and could probably go across the living room if we let him. He eats every 3 hours. We have introduced applesauce, carrots, sweet potatoes, bananas, and peas. His cheeks got rosy red over the Christmas break so we are going to take the foods a little slower to see if maybe he is allergic to one of them. He is a big boy wearing 6 month clothes tightly and 9 month clothes fit him nicely but loose. He got his first official tooth New Year's Eve, the middle bottom left. The two on the top that started at 3 months have never come completely through the gums. He does not sleep long at night, just 3-4 hours, then eats, but thankfully he always goes right back to sleep. On occasion he will sleep 6 hours. Since he learned to roll over he tosses alot in his crib. We finally surrounded him with pillows so he can't do it anymore. He is such a joy during the day. He has fun in the bouncer and on his play mat, chewing on toys, and watching the dogs.
