The Truncali Family: 6 Months!!! Half A Year!!!

Eli,

You are 6 months old today, half a year...... WoW!!! We love you more and more each day and enjoy watching you grow and learn! You are such a happy go lucky baby and are already so curious about your surroundings. Looks like you are going to be into everything like your sister, you learn from the best!
You had your 6 month check up today, which included 3 shots =( you cried right away, but as soon as I picked you up and snuggled you with Blue Dog you were fine! I think this was the best you have done with shots yet! I was surprised that you gained less than a pound over the last 2 months, but you grew 2 inches! We love you sweet boy and can't wait to see what you have in store for us next month!

Love,
Mommy

Here are some things you are doing at 6 months:

You weigh 17 lbs 11 oz and are 27.5 in long

You have moved from the 83 %tile to 55% in weight and from 76%tile to 83%tile in height

You still wear 6-12 months clothes, size 3 diaper and size 2 shoe

You have been eating 2 T cereal and a whole baby food container (3.5 oz) in the morning and evening and sometimes you will even eat 2 baby food containers!

I have not found a food you don't like, even though I know you're not given a choice, but you've never spit anything out, have had a tantrum or turned your head to anything I have offered.

You haven't had many bottles, but are doing great now! You sucked down a 7 oz bottle for Grammy a week or so ago.

You have your two bottom teeth, which are absolutely ADORABLE and your top teeth seem like they are not far behind!

Just recently you have started sucking your left thumb too! You mainly suck your right thumb, but switch when you get bored......or maybe you're just testing it out.

You are great at rolling from your back to your belly and even sleep on your belly sometimes, but you haven't figured out how to get from your belly to your back yet.

You are sitting up so good, with such little assistance. You have even sat by yourself for several seconds and didn't even realize you were doing it because you were so busy playing.

My personal favorite: You are officially sleeping through the night....12+ hours! You have been going to sleep between 6:30-7 and will sleep until 7:30 or so!

You finally have a schedule, taking 2 good naps a day and it's greatness!

You are so interested in everything, wanting to reach and touch and put in your mouth!

You were determined to have some of Rylee's Chick Fil A cone the other day. As soon as you saw it, your eyes never left and you screamed till you got some. An once you got some, you wanted more! You were a huge fan!!!

You have started paying more attention to Ruger and like to watch him annoying scratch himself to death, you think it is pretty funny (Mommy does not)!
