Eating: Still a favorite pastime of Mr. Weston! We have tried lots of different fruits & veggies now, and I would say his favorites appear to be prunes & carrots.

Sleeping: In his crib & generally through the night! He still rocks the Zipadee Zip (not sure if we will ever be able to get him out of it!). He will occasionally wake up during the night, & if I pop the pacifier back in he generally goes right back to sleep. Every once in a while we have a rough night of sleep, but I’ve been chocking that up to teething (oh my world the drool is out of control!). He’s been getting better-ish with taking decent naps. The second I lay him in his crib he instantly rolls to his left side—apparently his fave sleeping position—super cute!

Favorite toys: Still loving the floor playmat, & his Lion King activity center..or as we call it… his “Simba seat”. Really his favorite toy is his sister. He loves when she plays with him!

Loves: Playing peekaboo is a favorite, making funny noises, flying in the sky like an airplane, when we eat his belly & recently he has had an extra interest in the dogs. Thank goodness they are so good with him because he is not always so gentle—yikes! He also recently decided he loves bath time! He has been sort of indifferent for a while, but lately he seems to really enjoy it, making it much easier for Mama! A total win-win!

Weston just had his 6 month checkup Tuesday & he is growing right on track! Weston’s normal pediatrician was out on maternity leave, so we had a different one for this appointment. He was pretty personable & nice enough, but very brief and not really as informative as our regular doctor--hence why I don’t have the percentiles for his height & weight, although I am sure I could look it up. He just said that he is above average for weight, height, and head circumference, but when you put it all together, he is perfect—I could’ve told ya that ;) Can’t believe my sweet boy is already ½ a year old! Looking forward to his 6 month pictures next week!
