6 Months

Where does time go?  I cannot believe that Rayne is 6 months.  I also cant believe how different the personality he has from just 2 months ago.  I have to say he is my absolute FAVORITE!  This will be a long post as I have so much to catch up on.  We went for his 6 month checkup  and he is now weighing in at 17lbs and 26 1/2 inches and absolutely doing awesome which is a huge relief.  At 3-4 months he was projectile vomitting and hadn't gained any weight from his 2 month checkup which caused some worry but with the right formula and him getting older we figured it out and we have not had a problem since.  He's now on cereal and we tried jar food for the first time today.

 

 

His reaction to sweet potatoes

I decided that I needed to go out and explore moose jaw and do more things.  I joined a mommy and baby class at the YMCA called Jolly Baby.  We go for about a half an hour and they play music, sing and do actions for the babies.  Rayne loved it and pooped him out he had a 2 hour nap after.

Before Jolly Baby

After

Rayne is such a mover he just has to see whats going on and twist his body and he loves touching and grabbing his toes every chance he gets.

I just LOVE this boy!

Rayne at this stage:

*No more vomitting!!!! Yay!
*Grabs his toes and talks gibberish a lot!
*Is a ball of smiles, giggles and laughter.  He will just start laughing when no one is in the room.  He cracks me up
*He is now a pro at rolling over
*Very grabby, my hair is his new toy and will drool all over everything he touches
*Will cuddle in dads arms and watch spongebob squarepants
*Started cereal and jar food....still working on sweet potatoes
*Love, love, loves music....he will go to sleep almost 90% of the time listening to me hum "Come thou font of every blessing" it calms him down almost immediately
*Is very content and loves watching people in everything they do.  Any person to leave the room he will follow with his eyes.  Anyone who makes noise before coming into the room he will stop doing what he is doing and look in that direction until that person enters the room
*He is also so patient and loving...some days he seems to sense when i'm the most tired and will let me lay on the couch and he will sit in his chair and just be content so i can lay in peace and close my eyes sometimes this last up to 30 minutes.
*Still loves baths
*He still loves to Cuddle, my favorite time is when he snuggles right into my arms.

 

He is one happy boy!
