The Garlands: 6 months

6 months

Kenneth turned 6 month on the 27th of June. He has grown so much over the last month and has learned a lot of things too.

He's gotten really good at rolling from both tummy to back and back to tummy. He had lost it for a little bit there but now does it on his own.
He's learning that if he rolls enough he can get somewhere, but is still not understanding that certain things won't move just because he wants them too.
If his feet are up against something he can push himself forward, but rarely does that happen.
He's learning to push his feet on the floor so that he can move forward.
He almost has sitting up on his own down. He's really good if he's holding one of our fingers but looses balance when we let go. I blame his big head. :)
He takes a good 8 oz bottle every 3 hours. Except at night luckily he'll still sleep through the night most days
He loves his toys and will play with them for a very long time, if he's not tired and has a full tummy.
He has the cutest grin and smiles constantly whenever he sees my face or his daddy's face.
We made the switch to using only cloth diapers and I love it. Still trying to figure out how often we need to change him, but other then that it's going great and I love not dying from changing the diaper pail anymore. :)
We also moved him up to 6-9 month clothing, because his head was to big for some of the 3-6 month clothing and he was getting to long for them too.
He is really easy to put down for bed or naps. Just needs his pacifier in his mouth and a soft cuddly usually Minkee blanket to fall asleep.
This means he's not so good though falling asleep when we're out and about. Especially at church. Luckily he's starting to be able to last through all of church if he wakes up just before. But as soon as we get into the car he's out.
He just barely tried solids on his 6 month birthday, wasn't that big of a fan, but know tries to grab the spoon to feed himself. :)

I love this boy more and more each and every day. I can't believe how quickly he is growing up, I miss my little baby that would just cuddle as long as I wanted him too. He's so adorable and makes having him so worth it.
