at his six month checkup: 26 1/2 inches long (50th %), 15 lbs 10 oz (25th %)
i have to say that the past two months have been pretty busy. zachary is much more active and can roll around, which requires more of my attention. i still have time for myself, probably more than before, in spurts. i have been able to get a facial, get my hair done, and next on my list is a massage followed by a pedicure.
i find that emotionally i am much more equipped to handle baby stresses when i have had enough sleep. take for example last night after traveling to/from DFW this past weekend and not having as much night time sleep, i went to bed at 8:00, just after zachary. we were both tired and fussy. forget wanting to get some exercise or clean up the kitchen.
he has two teeth coming through now, both front bottom teeth. he has run a temperature on occasion and we have used orajel and off-brand acetaminophen to help comfort him. he has some stranger anxiety when someone he doesnt know comes right up to him and gets too close or holds him. he needs a minute or two to check them out first. he seems a bit shy, often smiling at them, then burying his face in my shirt as he looks away. he is a very sweet and happy baby. there are times when he needs to be held or entertained more than others and i remember how much i love holding him since he doesnt always want to be held.
he is napping especially good today. he usually takes one morning nap about an hour, one around noon, for another hour, and sometimes a third. most days he needs the third nap but doesnt always fall asleep. he usually goes to bed around 7:00-7:30. he loves his goodnight moon book and soft music as he gets ready for bed. he also loves when daddy makes the animal noises in his book.
