I can`t believe that Baby is six months old today. Where has the time gone? It seems like just a few days ago I was pregnant, and he was born just yesterday. Surprisingly, as it feels like time has gone so fast, I also can barely remember what life was like for our family before the Baby made five. It is really hard to remember a time when he wasn't part of our lives. Generally things have gone pretty well over the first six months. The Girl and the Boy are mostly helpful and they love their little brother so much (sometimes too much, if that is possible).
On his sixth month birthday (or his half birthday) he is a happy, smiley and stubborn baby. He is just learning to sleep in his crib and sit on his own. He plays in his exersaucer and has learned that the high chair is for eating. He has lost most interest in the swing and can't sleep in the bassennette anymore (because he can roll over). He still spends about 1/2 the night in bed with us, lateley he has been sleeping sideways so one of us gets their face slapped and the other gets kicked in the stomach. Neither positions are appealing.
At this time the Girl is going through one of her phases where she doesn't eat. She complains she has a stomach ache, or just plain says she is full. It is frustrating because you want to make sure your kids get enough to eat and they learn not to was food. She doesn't get these concepts and is so stubborn that she will just sit there for a long time, not eating. We have discovered that she doesn't have things that we can remove as punishment like the Boy, so it is hard to punish her. The Girl is also very sweet, cuddley and giving, I love these attributes, and I hope they never change.
The Boy is doing well in school. He tries hard, sometimes, the rest of the time, he does what is necessary to get by. He is very helpful, sweet and smart. I love his inqusitive nature and sometimes he asks questions that I don't know the answer to, thank goodness for Google!
