Jeffrey turns 6 months

It is bitter but sweet to watch my baby grow.  He is just the cutest little guy. 

He rolls around like a pro and he can get where ever he wants…within reason.  He is super fast too.  He has a smile that lights up our hearts and a belly laugh that makes us all laugh with him.  He LOVES to watch his older brothers run around.  I can tell he is just itching to be able to crawl to follow them all over the house.  I stopped breastfeeding him around this time.  It was hard.  It was really hard.  He wouldn’t ever take a bottle and he was not sleeping at night very well.  We figured I was running out of milk and it was time for him to not have to have me every 3 hours.  So after a 24 hour rebellion he finally gave in.  I had to hold him pinned up against me so his head and arms wouldn’t move and we had to heat up the bottle.  But he did it. 

He had 3-4 naps a day around 6 months.  He was still being wrapped and rocked to sleep or in the baby swing.

At his 6 month check up we didn’t even talk about his throat sounds because they have been gone.  He was still growing so it looks like I wasn’t running low.  I mean, he was in the 2 percentile.  Perhaps it was time anyway.
