Hello, Seriously where is the time going? Our little Jens is 6 Months Old. We had an awesome Christmas Break, Jens had his first Christmas this Year and First New Years Day! So special to have him experience all the Family and wonderful vibes all around us. His big brother did catch a nasty fever bug that was going around...that was around New Years, so that was pretty lame. We were up to visit my Parents during that time, so it was pretty sad for Isaiah to not want to really do anything, or to be himself. But the break was awesome. Jayden was home and we were able to have some serious Family time (which was much needed. Since he is so busy all the time with school and such) we even snuck in a movie night with My Brother-in-Law and his wife, with no kids. Sweet! But now Jayden is back at work and life seems to be getting normal again and a routine starting. That's about all that is new with our Family...here's the update for Jens. Enjoy! Weight/Height: 14lbs 16 oz Sizes: Most of his clothes are still 6-12 Months. But a 9-12 Month size would be even better. But to be honest I am gonna get all of his clothes organized again and probably pull out a lot of 12-18 Months stuff (even if they will be pretty big) he is just at a very awkward size right now. He is still in size 3 Diapers and probably will be for awhile. He is still on a small setting for his cloth diapers (but biggest setting for his kawaii newborn diapers) Routine: His routine really hasn't change much or even at all since his 5 Month update. He seems to be in a really great routine. The only thing that has changed is maybe more meals. 7:30am: Wake up time. I nurse him, change him and get him set up for some highchair playtime and then we have breakfast. Jens rice cereal (we just started adding banana to it, I think we will move on to some other fruits shortly) Isaiah and I eat breakfast at this time too. 9:00am: We head out the door to go to Parent Link and He falls asleep on the way there. 11:00am: He wakes up from his nap. I change him, and nurse him. Then we have playtime, they got this really sweet toy house for Christmas from my Mom and Dad and they love it so much. It's cute seeing them play together. 12:00/1:00pm: but this is his 2nd nap of the day. This is my break during the day to get some chores done, get some lunch, get some computer time in or even grab a shower if I missed one in the morning. 3:00pm: Wake up. I change him and nurse him. This is his second feeding of the day (and even then I am not super consistent with this one...somedays I miss this) I usually give him some kind of vegetable at this time (but am gonna add chicken very soon) 5:00pm: This is his 3rd nap of the day. He usually doesn't sleep as long for this one. Maybe an hour. 6:00pm: He wakes up. I change him and nurse him. Then we give him rice cereal shortly after .This is usually when we eat dinner as well. 8:00pm: Most days are really hard to keep him up until 8. We just need to play around a little bit with his last nap so we can eventually get him down for 7:30. 10:00pm-11:30pm: I dreamfeed him. Sleeping: Still loves his sleep. He doesn't wake up really at all anymore in the night, especially if I dreamfeed him. At night he likes to use a sleep sack and just have his blankie and soother. During naps I swaddle him (leaving his left hand out for sucking his thumb) and give him his blankie and soother. He goes down so great. Has for months now. Definitely loves his sleep. Eating: He is still breastfed (that is going great) and he has rice cereal at least twice a day (morning and night) and sometimes a serving of veggies around lunch time. We've tried so far: Yams (Loves), Carrots (Liked), Green Beans (Hated), Avocado (Hated), Banana's (Liked) and Butternut Squash (Not really) and yeah that's about it. We want to try Chicken and beef really soon so that I can start making him some stew's. Milestones: He is learning so much. So proud of this little man.
6 Months Postpartum: Everything is going great with me. Still struggling to get started with THM (especially after the holiday's, which totally beat me up) but I am only up 2lbs from before Christmas, so that's good. But time to kick these bad habits and get back on track. That is really all that is new with me. I feel great (will feel even better when my weight goes down a bit). I have some big dreams and things I want to achieve this Year. Thanks for stopping by. ...following my dreams...
