6 Months

So, this post is obvious very late (he'll be 7 months in 10 days, yikes!), but I want to have it written down and the pictures taken anyways.  I took the pictures late as well, I think they were taken April 1, but better late than never!  Grayson is so smiley and social right now.  His daddy gets the biggest smiles when he sees him at the end of the day, he loves him so daddy!  Not to say that I don't get some good smiles, too, its just super cute when P comes home from work everyday. 

G's Schedule
Our move (which happened 4 days after his 6 month birthday) has changed up our schedule, but before we moved, The Hubs was taking Gray to school in the morning around 7:30 and I was picking him up after work around 5.  He still seems to really like daycare and hasn't given us any resistance at drop-off.  Physical therapy was still every Monday, and his therapist really thinks that he is responding well to the treatment. (read: lots of neck/shoulder stretching)  She has also worked with him a little bit on his arm strength because we noticed that he was having a hard time getting his arm out from under himself after rolling onto his tummy.  We try to get Grayson in bed around 8-8:30 and he usually sleeps through the night.  If he hasn't woken up by 6, that is when we wake him on weekdays in order to get ready for school. 

At 6 months old, Grayson is:
-wearing 3-6 month onesies and ones that are just labeled 6 month
-wearing 3-6 month pants
-in size 3 diapers  
-laughing and smiling a lot.  He usually smiles at strangers who smile at him first - its so cute!
-making more sounds with his voice
-sitting on his own!  Thanks to Aunt Pavi for her work with him while she was here ;)
-eating formula, some rice cereal, and just had his first solid.  I tried rice cereal with him intermittently to see if he was interested in eating with a spoon and I was usually left with an uninterested baby.  We gave Gray his first taste of solids (sweet potatoes) three days before he turned 6 months old.
-still reaching out and grabbing for everything-my dinner plates included! 
-still putting everything in his mouth. If he gets his hands on it...its goin' in!
-sleeping through the night
-napping like a champ at home (2-3 hour nap in the morning, with a possible shorter nap in the afternoon)
-beginning to nap better at school. 
-getting big!  26 3/4 inches long, 17 3/4 inch head circumference, and 18 pounds, 2 ounces!  All of these measurements are within the 60th percentiles, which is fantastic for our little baby who couldn't put on weight in the first few days.
