Month Six Highlights
- Jonah endures his first bout of illness since birth with an ear infection just in time for Turkey Day
- Jonah moves into mostly 3-6 or 6 month clothes, wears size 2 dipes and continues to grow in the happiness department!
- Jonah has some rough sleep patches but on averages sleeps from about 7:00 in the eve to about 2-4 in the morn. Then again until about 5 or 6 and then wakes for the day, on average, around 7:00…but sometimes 6…and sometimes 5…eeeeek.
- Throughout the sixth month, Jonah’s fussing becomes much less and he is happier when doing tummy time, rolling about and scooting in circles. He is a happy chappy!
- Jonah still has extremely irregular naps but takes 3 on a good day.
- Jonah’s GI intolerance
- Mommy fails at introducing dairy and soy before Thanksgiving and both grandmas are more than accomodating of mommy’s crazy dietary restrictions.
- Mommy reintroduces soy just shy of 6 months and dabbles in dairy…so far soy good. The jury is still out on dairy.
- Jonah continues to battle reflux
- Mommy watches diet less and less.
- Jonah still takes Prevacid 2x daily
- Food! We backed off food for 3 weeks after a poor introduction at 4 and half months. The last week before the 6 month mark, Jonah is able to tolerate homemade peas, apples, bananas, pears and store bought peaches (they’re out of season!)
- Cooing and happy screeches are two of Jonah’s favorite past times.
- Jonah sucks on his index and ring finger with some frequency and can generally be found with his hand or a toy in his mouth and a pool of drool on his chin and chest.
- Oh, month 6! We’ve seen the light and the light is good!! Jonah is a sweet peanut and we’ve decided to keep him around for awhile.
