Jordan's Monthly Photos with Harris

Happy 6 Months Big Guy!

Well little man, you hit the big 6 month milestone weighing it at a whopping 22 lbs and 15 oz! Your brother at the same age was just over 19 lbs so you are definitely a much bigger baby than your older brother. The way that James rough houses with you already I keep telling him to watch himself because before he knows it you are gonna be bigger than him!

This month was very active for you and your development. You are sitting up now by yourself with a pillow to protect the falling backwards habit you have! You are so cute just sitting there watching James and I around you and playing with your toys. You are starting to like the Jolly Jumper more these days too and of course still enjoy your exersaucer too. You still aren't close to crawling yet but that's a milestone that Mommy's not anxious to get to yet!

This month you celebrated your first Halloween. You were dressed up as SuperBaby and were just as cute as anything! We went to a few friends homes and you made it to 3 houses before you were fast asleep in your car seat. Mommy was really missing Daddy that night as he loves Halloween but we made it through. You and your brother were the cutest little super hero and Woody I had ever seen so it made it fun for me too to see people's faces when they saw you dressed in your costume!

This month you took your first trip out of town. We travelled with Nana to Chilliwack to visit your uncles, auntie and cousins. We had a great trip and you were a good little traveller, well, except for the 25 minutes of straight screaming/screeching you did on the freeway because you were mad about being in your carseat for so long. I definititely learned on this trip that by living in Powell River and never driving more than 10 minutes to get somewhere can result in a very cranky baby when put in the seat for long periods of time. You slept pretty good while we were away too with just one really bad night of wake-ups. 

During Daddy's days off this month we enjoyed quiet family time at home where you got to enjoy your baths with him and weren't stuck looking at just my face day in and day out. It's fun to see your relationship with Daddy forming and you clearly love him very much. 

This month you also ended up with another silly cold. We lathered you up with Vicks, put the dehumidifier on and propped you on the nursing pillow in your crib. Thankfully you got over it quickly and were back to being yourself. 

This month you really started to come into a great schedule of eating and sleeping. You wake up between 6 and 7 am, eat a bottle, want to nap exactly 2 hours after waking up, nap for 1-2 hours, up for a few hours for another bottle and some playtime (and usually taking James to preschool), then back down for another 1-2 hour nap, wake up and play and eat one more bottle, then we have supper and you sit and watch us eat, then bath, bottle and bed between 7 and 8 pm. Mommy loves having a routine baby that makes my life 10x easier! Thank you Jordan Douglas for being such a good little guy!

We all love you very much and happy half a year!

And here's the rest of them in order. This is the best part to watch him grow month by month!
