Nic is 6 months old today! It is amazing how quickly time flies. He is not rolling over yet but he is thinking about it. If you put something by his head he will turn himself to try to get it but he doesn't go all the way over for it. He is talking more and more - more different sounds.
He still cries a lot. Last night he got too tired because he woke up and it was really hard to get him back to sleep. He cried really hard for a while until I played him his baby crack, "Wheels on the bus by Mad Donna", from YouTube, and got Daddy on a video chat on the computer.
He loves it when I put him down in the bathroom floor and talk to him. He smiles and laughs and kicks! So cute! He does the same thing on the changing table.
We call him "Hands" now because he grabs everything! When he and Jac are playing he grabs everything he can reach. Sometimes when he is sitting and playing and something is a little too far away he will try to reach for it and fall over. When he falls over he stays in the same position he was in when he was sitting!
He still does not sleep well. He flails around and just isn't very settled. I am really hoping he is going to grow out of this sooner rather than later.
We are still going strong with breastfeeding and he is a big guy! 18 pounds! We have tried some pureed things with him and he is only moderately interested in them. Jac, who never used to eat them, eats them when Nic does though!
He does not like the car seat. It is still a very rare car ride that Nic does not cry in the car. Sometimes "Baby Crack" or Mommy or Grandma or Daddy live signing of "Wheels on the Bus" will keep him from crying but not always. The amazing thing is how Jac will fall asleep while Nic is screaming bloody murder.
He is heavy and dense. I am getting tough arms from carrying him around! I have guns!
We got a double Maclaren stroller and Nic will ride in it some but I still end up carrying him a lot. It is so cute when the boys are in there together.
I think I expect more from Nic at 6 months because he is so big! Not fair!
He is so cute and he and Jac look more and more alike the older Nic gets. I am asked all of the time if they are twins - constantly really.
As hard as it is sometimes to have Jac and Nic so close together in age I am very glad they are. I am so looking forward to life as the Mother of two very interesting little boys who I hope will be very close like me and my Dork Child! It gets a little more fun and a little easier everyday!
