Dane is 6 months old today!

I can't believe that Dane is 6 months old! The time has gone by so fast! He is changing so much these days and we are having so much fun. Gone are the days of sitting in the chair holding him while he sleeps on and off. He is so active and noisy now! We love it!

• Dane is growing fast! He is wearing size 3 diapers and size 6-9 month clothes.
• Eats oatmeal or cereal and a bottle for breakfast, fruit and a bottle for lunch, 2 veggies and a bottle for dinner, and then takes a bottle right before bed....and he screams if you don't feed him fast enough. He doesn't take a bottle right when he gets up anymore, he waits until 8:00. It means I get to sleep 30 minutes later, but I do miss our snuggle time in the morning.
• Sleeps great at night! He goes to bed about 7:30 p.m. and sleeps until about 6:30 everyday. Many times I have to wake him up for daycare.
• Everyone who knows me well knows that I LOVE to nap. So how is it I get a baby that can't decide if he wants to nap or not?? One day he will take a 2 hr morning nap and a 2 hr afternoon nap and the next day he will only sleep for 25 minutes the entire day. Poor Miss Sue, she never knows what she will get.
• Enjoys his time in the jumperoo or exersaucer
• Loves TV
• Chews on everything. We have had a couple of rough days of teething, but no teeth yet!
• Had a playdate with his friends, Tyler and Aiden Deters.
• Started using a sippy cup. We started with a little bit of water, but now he will drink a couple ounces of formula from the cup, then takes the rest from a bottle.
• Since Christmas we now have 2 baskets filled with toys, plus several more toys in the basement that we haven't opened yet! We are busy playing everynight and he LOVES it. Unfortunately he will only hang out in my arms for a little bit without being entertained.
• Had a bad cold with an awful cough. We went to see Dr. Andersen, but she assured us it was just a cold.
• Celebrated his First Christmas and New Years
• First snowfall, which was also the first time he got to stay home with mommy on a snow day. He will one day realize how great those days are!
• Sitting up quite well these days!
• Taking a bath in the big tub now!
• Laughs and squeals so much!
• Dane just started reaching for me, which is just about the best thing ever!

Mommy and Dane on his 6 month birthday!

What a happy little guy!
