Jud Bud-
6 months? Already?! You’re basically the cutest little baby we’ve ever seen (tied with your sister, of course). You melt us with that big smile that squishes your eyes shut. We adore you, sweet boy. I just told your daddy the other day that my favorite things has to be watching you and your sister play. You love each other so much and it makes me smile so big my face hurts. Seriously. I could watch the two of you for hours, if you ever played for hours. Obviously, neither of you have that kind of attention span. This was right around the time I went back to work with your sister and I am thankful that I won’t have to do that with you. We’re loving our days at home and you’re on such a great schedule, I actually get a load of laundry done some days.
- Eating- you eat every 3 hours during the day.
- You’re on a fantastic schedule during the day- a long nap in the morning and early afternoon and one cat nap before bed. We’ve tried cutting that out, but it doesn’t help you sleep through the night anyway, so we just roll with that evening nap when you want it. You wake up at least twice during the night. Mama is tired!
- You put yourself to sleep at night and sleep until about 1:00, then your up again about 3 hours later, and for good at 7:30.
- Youre rolling and scooting (on your tummy) everywhere, and sitting up unassisted.
- You still love bath time.
- You still love being outside, moving, the exersaucer, chewing on toys, blowing raspberries, Sophie, soft blankets, and the mamaroo. You go to sleep in your stroller so easily, especially when we go on long walks.
- You babble and talk all of the time. We hear “mama” ALL of the time when your mad and fussy. And I think it totally counts!
- You want to chew or suck on everything, including your fists and feet.
- Youre still exclusively nursing.
- Youll take your paci if youre really tired.
- You still love to be talked to, youre content to sit and coo and make noises at anyone who stops and says hi to you. Its not hard to get you to smile or laugh.
- Youre the most ticklish baby Ive ever met!
- You weigh around 17 pounds.
- You wear a size 3 diaper (but not for long) and 9 or 12 month clothes.
- You’re so long (around 28 inches)!
- We started Baby Led Weaning a little over a week ago and you’re eating anything you can get your hands on. Squash. avocado, zucchini, bell peppers, cantaloupe, apple slices, cucumbers, bananas, and pancakes have all been hits with you!

My little guy is about 6 weeks behind Judson. We’re going through some serious sleep regression and it’s killing me! We also use MOC and are waiting to move up until the 4-6 week until solids. Just out of curiosity, did you do anything specific to help him get back on schedule?
