Catch-up Part 1: J.J.

6 Months
JJ weighed 19.8 pounds and was 28.5 inches long at his 6 month check-up.

This month he mastered sitting up and rolling over.

We took a vacation to northern Nevada; we drove 15 hours each way. JJ did so well in the car. I know it's because his big brother was in the backseat to keep him company.

JJ wears size 9-12 months clothing and size 3 diapers. He eats 3 baby foods a day now (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and he drinks 6 oz. bottles about 5-6 times a day.

7 Months

This month, JJ weighed in at 21 pounds.

He had his first swimming pool adventure at Andrew's friend's birthday party. He wasn't too sure about the water. He kept quietly saying "ah" "ah" "ah" like he was about to cry, but he never did.

This month, JJ began to figure out if he keeps rolling, he can go places. So, that's what he sometimes does. He gets a few feet and then starts fussing for someone to just pick him up and take him somewhere.

Also, this month, JJ has began to get bored in his crib. From day one I have laid him down for bed and naps while he is still awake so he can learn to fall asleep without needing to be rocked or already asleep. This month, he has figured out how to untie the bumper and pull it away from the crib. He likes to pull the bumper down on him and then fall asleep. Pretty funny!

He is such a good, happy baby and we are really enjoying watching him and helping him discover new things.
