Quinn will be six months old in a few days! I totally missed the 5 month post, but we've been busy!
He has his six month check up next week, so I'll have the new weight/height stuff then.
We visited the dermatologist about a month ago regarding Quinn's eczema and cradle cap. We got some new things to try and a new bath regiment (every night!) and it does seem to be helping. Neither problem has gone away entirely, but we are managing it. The most important part is that it's not bothering the little guy any more!
He is wearing 9-12 month clothes (depending on the brand). He's getting so big! He eats every 3-4 hours, sometimes going longer. He usually still has one middle of the night feeding, around 2-3 AM. We're going to start solid foods after his 6 month check up! He's really been interested in our food lately, so hopefully he'll like his! Other than that, he's still getting exclusively breast milk.
He actually has been sleeping in his crib (he was in the pack and play in our room), and we're working on weaning off the swaddling! He sleeps with one arm out, hopefully soon we'll be able to stop the swaddling entirely!
The boy can roll! He finally rolled front to back a couple weeks ago, and now there's no stopping him! He actually gets his knees up under his bottom too....I'm really not ready for crawling, but I think it's coming sooner rather than later!
He is very good at grabbing things, and can get them to his mouth very well (which is, of course, where everything should go). He will hold out his arms and reach for things he wants.
We had a visit from Quinn's honorary Auntie Shawna for Thanksgiving, and then Auntie Jenn came down that weekend. It was a great visit from both of them!
New things Quinn can do:
-rolls from tummy to back
-Reach/grab towards things he wants
-Consistently put things in his mouth
-He's started making 'gargling' noises, and thinks that's pretty funny
Quinn quirks:
-He is a fan of Dr. Seuss books, we think it must be the cadence of the stories
-He loves dogs now, too! He thinks Hunter and Toby are just cool and likes to talk to them! (I guess they pay more attention to him when they're visiting than his kitties do!)
-He's getting into the "I want what Mom has" kind of stage. He's always trying to take whatever I have (Mostly the phone and my water bottle)
And now the kiddo is awake, so this is all you get!
