Wesley's six-month stats

Stats from four days after he turned six months, post from several weeks later because Mommy's blogging time/motivation is sorely lacking:

Completely uncooperative and destructive.

 Weight: 17 pounds, 12 ouces (60th percentile)

Height: 27 3/4 inches (90th percentile)

Head: 44cm (60th percentile)

Current developments include a tooth! Actually, two! The pediatrician had been checking out his gums at his 5-month appointment and we both saw that the bottom gums were swollen. Four days later his first tooth appeared. A week later, the second had made an appearance. He handled both well - definitely had a little more drool and some increased fussiness and was a little more clingy, but nothing too crazy. He had his two front (bottom) teeth for Christmas.

Permanent drool rash on his chin, yay.

He's also been trying to sit up. We had to retire the bouncy seat and swing because he was pulling himself forward and nearly bending in half/somersaulting out. He's rolling and rolling and rolling and gives "kisses" on demand.

Not sure if this is a development or not, but I figured I should note it: His eyes are definitely brown and his hair has lightened up a lot. Elle and Tim have dark, dark brown eyes. I think Wesley's eyes are going to be lighter, more hazel, like mine. His hair is so fine and light blond that it's hard to remember how dark it was when he was born. And it's so soft :)

Current habits include nursing/taking a bottle 5-7 times a day, napping 2-3 times a day, sleep a solid stretch at night (usually sleeps 9-10 hours, then wakes to nurse, then sleeps for another 2-3 hours. If we catch him at the right time and toss him in a sleep sack, he'll usually go to sleep on his own for naps at home and *sometimes* at night. Naps when we don't catch him at the magic time and daycare naps are an entirely different (and frustrating, for me) story.

He had been drinking four bottles while I was at work, but in the last few weeks he's started sleeping a little bit later, so he nurses a little bit later and then usually only needs three bottles while I'm away. This has helped make it slightly easier to keep up with the demand, but there are definitely days when I barely make it or have to dip in to my rather small freezer stash. 

Current loves include milk, talking, baths, pulling Mommy and Daddy's hair, watching his sister, trying to grab food from people/off plates, pulling things over his head/face.

Absolutely adores all things Elle Belle.

Current nicknames Bro, Hoots, Buppa, Deedee, Warthog, Vulture Baby (because he attacks anyone close to him like this).
