Spencer is half a year! Not surprisingly, it’s going way too fast! He’s a giggly, happy, cheerful little guy, that’s for sure! We love to tickle his tummy and get those good belly laughs going. No one can make him smile like Maxwell though. He just gets transfixed on Maxwell whenever he’s around. Spencer is finally getting big enough that Maxwell can sort of “play” with him too which is fun. And by “play” I mean Maxwell grabs him and tries to throw him around. It’s like a little Wrestlemania but only one is wrestling! 🙂
Spencer at 6 months…
Maxwell at 6 months…
Spencer is definitely bigger than Maxwell was but there are a lot of similarities – about the same amount of hair, doing good at sitting up, sleeping patterns. Two sweet boys!
Spencer is still nursing 4 times a day but just started eating some solid foods this week! So far he’s had apples and bananas and both seem to be a hit. He’s a great sleeper at night. I feed him and put him to bed around 7:30 and he gets up anywhere between 6:15 and 7:00. Really hoping he starts leaning more toward the 7:00 mornings instead of the 6:15! He can still only stay awake during the day for about 2 hours. If we put him back down within that 2 hour window, he’ll usually go down for his nap with barely any fussing. His morning nap is usually great – 1.5 to 2 hours. Afternoon nap is currently not so great. He’s in a bad habit of sleeping for only about 45 minutes and then waking up and not going back to sleep. I’m not sure if teeth are causing that but hoping it gets better soon. He won’t really take that 3rd afternoon nap anymore – which makes for some long afternoons for him when he wakes up from his afternoon nap at 1:00! But, he’s happy and still sleeping great at night so I’m not going to worry about it (too much!). He’s taking all of his naps in his crib. He’s just about too big for the swing now! 🙂
He’s just a lovable, squeezable little baby…
I mean…these legs!
and these cheeks!
I could eat him up!
Pics with Bear Bryant!
I love this baby.
Happy 6 months sweet Spencey!!
