The 6 month stats - only about 2 weeks late

Posted on | July 28, 2009 |

I’m so behind!

At 6 months, Grayson:

  • weighs 16 lbs, 8oz
  • is 27 1/2 inches (Only an inch and a half away from outgrowing the infant carrier! ACK!)
  • wears size 3 diapers
  • is still eating about 30 oz per day.  But he dropped on of his middle of the day feedings. 
  • is obsessed with rolling around the house.  Dog bed in the corner that you think is out of reach?  Grayson’s all over it. 
  • Loves, loves, loves his Jumperoo.  His little legs start pumping and it looks like he’s running in place.  Or dancing to the music - a la Elaine from Seinfeld.  Hilarity.  The yellow piano button is an extra special treat.
  • still hates riding in the car.  But LOVES watching the cars drive by. Here is the video evidence
  • is back to sleeping through the night.  (Thankfully!) And is up for the day between 5am and 6.  No, that is not a typo.  I’m not sure this kid is infact related to his lazy, sleep loving mom.
  • cut his first tooth.  It’s a jagged little thing on the bottom of his mouth.  He’s a big fan of shoving our fingers in there and chomping down.  I see trouble on the horizon!
  • squeals when we tickle him.  He has especially ticklish thighs.
  • Has learned how to splash and kick during bath time.  We invested in a large floor mat to save our kitchen floors!  One would think a whale was beaching itself in our kitchen…
  • is an all around delight not only to us, but anyone who gets close enough to see his engaging smile.

    Having witnessed the Jumparoo dance, I can say that it is the cutest thing ever. Happy 6 and a half months, Grayson!

    Yes, you must get the Elaine/Grayson dance on video!

    I finally figured out the correct adjective for his eyes..”hypnotic” (and beautiful of course too!)
