Jace ~ 6 Months

February was a l-o-n-g winter month this year.  We had the snowiest February on record (39.7 inches) and we're currently the 6th snowiest winter (73.5 inches)...but winter ain't over yet...

Thankfully, we have a sweet six month old to snuggle and enjoy his smiles even when the snow piles up outside 😊  Well, at least we snuggle him when he's not on the move!  

Sleeping - Jace's sleep was interrupted this month by his new skill of rolling both directions (February 1).  He's talented enough to roll, but not so much when he's sleeping or half asleep.  He'd wedge himself into the corner of his wooden crib or get stuck on his stomach and not be able to roll back over where he wanted to sleep.  So, it was a more interrupted month of sleep, but still not bad.  We started sleeping him in a pack-n-play since the sides are soft when he runs into them.  We'll move back into the crib once he's better at controlling his night time rolling.  And, if sleeping got especially interrupted, we could also buckle him into his rock-n-play sleeper where he would rest peacefully.  Naps have stayed about the same with one longer nap a day and a couple shorter 45ish minute naps. 

Eating - Eating has been pretty consistent with 6-8 ounces every 3-4 hours during the day.  We tried cereal for the first time last night.  

Growing - Jace is wearing size 6-9 month clothes and size 3 diapers.  Stats based on his 6 month appointment on March 1.

Fun - Jace quickly went from one tooth to his second tooth, with the second one coming through on February 4.  He also started making the da-da sound the beginning of February and does lots of chatting while he plays.  He's making his way around the living room exploring with his new rolling ability.  He gets wedged under the couch or in a corner often 😉  This boy has been such a joy during this long winter and the stresses of life.  His bright eyes, contagious smile, and plump little body are absolutely irresistible 💓
