6 whole months old!

Roman turned 6 months old on September 12th. I honestly can not believe it! My baby is growing so fast! He is still the sweetest thing ever! Below are his stats:

Weight - 18 lbs (55%)
Height - 26-1/4" (50%)
Head - 44.4" (60%)


Roman still sleeps 11 hours at night with 3 naps. Except at daycare. He will only nap in 20 minute intervals. He doesn't want to miss the other kiddos playing!

Roman now eats breakfast and dinner. He has eaten sweet potatoes, peas, green beans, squash, carrots, bananas, apple sauce, pears, and prunes. He makes the funniest faces when I introduce something new, but still eats it. He LOVES to eat! What a boy!!

Here is Roman trying squash!

I am still nursing him. He nurses or takes a bottle of breast milk 4 times a day with one formula bottle still at night.

He sits up on his own!! Roman loves to play with his toys, now sitting up. He looks so much older to me when he sits up!

He babbles and whines a lot! Especially in the evening. His whine can get a little old, but we still love him!

I love it when I'm holding him and he gets excited (usually watching Captain) and squeezes his whole body really hard and then goes in for a big hug. My sweet boy.

He is so much more aware of his surroundings. He watches Captain and laughs at him. I love watching him grow!


Dear Roman,
You have been such a blessing to daddy and me these past six months. God is so good to us for providing us with such a sweet boy. I am honored to be your mommy! I love you more than you'll ever know!!
Love,
Mommy
