Happy 6 months with Jared! :)

6 months - wow!

Jared is still not happy about the loss of his pacifier. He loves to suck on something all of the time. This could include his own hand, his bib, someone else's hand or chin, etc.
He usually falls asleep completely exhausted or crying, so we'll have to keep working at that. With his increased mobility, he gets into his crib for a nap (so I believe), and he moves all over the crib, which he thinks is way more fun than going to sleep. He used to sleep about every 1.5 - 2 hours; now it is not uncommon that he goes 3-4 hours between naps. I guess this pacifier loss has really affected his sleeping.

He also likes making somewhat realistic farting/pooping sounds often. Most of the time, it's when you are changing his diaper, which freaked me out the first time. Of course, he thinks this is hilarious!

He also loves covering his own face with a bib or cloth diaper (we use them as pee shields) during diaper changes - weird.

After many years of talking about it, we made it to the Cryptological Museum on Saturday with my parents. It was nice to get Jared outside for some fresh air. It has been so cold lately that he's been inside all of the time. Then on Sunday, we visited with the Whittakers - I'm still not sure if Jared ever warmed up to Steve W.

He has his 6 month Pediatrician visit on Wednesday, so I'll post his new stats then. He has been eating a lot and getting heavy! He is definitely ready to start solids, so we'll talk to the Dr. about that. He tries to grab at your cup or fork if you put it within his reach, and he watches you like a hawk while you eat.
