Six Months | Milestone Pictures | Half Birthday Pictures
Clyde is SIX MONTHS OLD!! How?! The fact that half a year has already gone by is killing me. I’ve been looking through and sending Caden alllll of the videos and photos of Clyde as a tiny tiny baby and it has us feeling all the feels. Six months is already a huge milestone, but Clyde has also grown up SOO much this month so it’s making it all the more real. He seriously makes us laugh EVERY single day and usually tear up too because he is just so precious.
This month Clyde:
- Said his first word! MAMA! Toward the end of last month/beginning of this month he was always saying “ma ma ma ma ma” but without much context to it. Then on 8/18 he just straight up reached for me and said “mama!” I obviously died in that moment.
- As I mentioned in my last point, now reaches for people! He hasn’t really turned anyone down yet either.. the kid loves to be held.
- Is SO ticklish! I’ve said this before I’m sure, but he gets more and more ticklish as the days go on!
- Rolls both ways now! This month he learned to roll from his back to his belly after practicing all last month! He especially thinks it’s SUPER fun to roll over while I’m changing his diaper.. haha
- Has mastered the fake cough! Haha! I didn’t know that was a thing until he started doing it out of no where and clearly for attention! It’s pretty cute.
- He loved to hold my hand and will always intertwine his fingers in mine.
- LOVES when we “bite” his hands and toes! He also gets SO excited when Caden pretends to bite his sides aka “corn on the cob!”
- Can finally reach the floor in his little walker toy and exersauser! The day we gave him the exersauser– he about died with excitement. He absolutely loves figuring out all of the sounds and toys it has!
- Has a new found love for books! We need to be better about reading to him more regularly, because he is SO interested and loves every single minute of it!
- Has transitioned his arms out of the swaddle! I thought that might be tricky to do, but he handled it like a champ and actually sleeps even better since he can now put his own binky back in!
- Has slept 10-12 hours straight each night!
- Started sitting in his high chair at meal times and exploring with utensils, bowls, and cups! He is SO ready for food. We will be doing BLW so we’ve been waiting to start food til he was 6 months AND sitting unassisted. However, he has been watching us so closely for months now and has mastered what to do with silverware and cups!
- He loves to pat MY back while I burp him. He’s hilarious and he knows it.
- Rests his head on our shoulders and rubs his little eyes constantly when he’s tired. It’s probably my most favorite thing about him right now.. it’s the cutest. The resting on shoulder part is so cute too especially since he hasn’t really been one to cuddle like that since he was a few weeks old!
- Weighs 14 pounds and 10.5 ounces and is 25.3 inches tall! This is HUGE for him and I’m SO proud of our little guy!
This month we:
- Celebrated Caden’s 25th birthday! Clyde got to visit dad at work and loved all of his co-workers loving on him! Caden and I got a night out and went to Desert Star and saw the Sunday School Musical. Haha. It was a mix of High School Musical & The Greatest Showman. It was pretty funny! Not our all time fave but funny and a fun night out! We also went to our all time favorite dessert place The Chocolate. (:
- Went to Cherry Hill with my side of the family! It was a ton of fun! Even Clyde liked it!! We were so happy that he finally enjoyed water.. haha. He slept through me carrying him while walking through the lazy river, and floating on a tube, until we got splashed.. haha. But he did great and actually loved getting in and swimming in his Otteroo!
- Went to Caden’s family’s cabin over Labor Day weekend! We had so much fun there! We spent time with family, four wheeled, played games, ate good food, and went on a Razor ride!
Here’s this month in pictures..
