Holy Smokes! This kid is growing like crazy and seriously always has a smile on his face. He is laid back and has a great temperament. He went to the doctor and weighed 17 lbs and was 27 inches long. He is definately long as he has already outgrown most 6 month clothes in the length. He loves to talk to you and is a big cuddler. He also is extremely ticklish and can you can get a belly laugh pretty easily by tickling him, see below.
He loves his bath and loves even more the times when his brother takes a bath with him. Of course, he usually gets water poured over his head and splashed constantly but both of them are usually cracking up the whole time.
He continues to be breastfed and eats 4 times a day, pretty much every 4 hours. He is eating cereal in the morning and baby food at dinner time. It is a brilliant thing when you have both children on the same schedule...that has been enjoyable lately. He's up and down in regards to sleep. He goes to sleep great but sometimes will wake up and just want to chit-chat. Sorry buddy, I'm not visiting at 3am. He also has two teeth and I believe some more are coming which always disrupts sleep as well.
He loves books (a little reading while I wait for mom to cook dinner) and is also very tactile. He wants to be touching whatever is in front of him.
He can sit up fairly well. If he starts leaning to the side he becomes the "Leaning Tower of Baby" as Matthew has titled it. His exercauser will keep him entertained for a long time and he is really getting some strength in his legs and makes it bounce pretty good.
His Daddy can make him giggle with all the sounds he can make. If he locks eyes with you he will absolutely melt you with his smile and giggle/cooing.
He goes with the flow and you can tell he wants to be big and keep up with everyone. He rolls both ways and is all over his bed when he sleeps. He can get his booty up in the air while on his tummy but hasn't figured out pushing with his legs for crawling.
He loves hanging with Mom and brother on our donut dates on Thursday mornings. Soon he'll be chowing down on donuts as well.
I told David the other day "You can genuinely tell that those two love each other". They are each others biggest fans. Matthew wants to be with him and wants to know and help with whatever you are doing with him. Taylor lights up and enjoys having Matthew around him. It is truly a joy to see how your family gets completed and enhanced with the second kiddo.
Taylor is one great kid who is developing and showing us more of his individual self more and more. Our sons are alike in some ways but also different. We are looking forward to embracing each for the individual that they are and continuing to create for them a safe place to call home.
