David Lately

- 5 months old

- 6 months old

Little Mr. David is now 6 months old!!! He is getting more and more fun everyday. Sometimes I wish I could just press the pause button with my two boys at this moment. Both of them are at two of my very favorite ages. To be honest the newborn faze is not my favorite but I LOVE right now! David is still a snuggle-cuddle bug but he can be put down to play. He is a very content little guy. Today at his drs appointment he weighed in at 18 lbs 10z. He is in the 70th percentile for height... 75th for weight... and 90th for head.... he has a big head... the dr had to re-measure and ask if it ran if the family... and it is not unusual for Thomas to have to look for hats that are a little bigger than normal... so it is an Odenbaugh trait to have a big head! :0) He is wearing mostly 6-9 month clothes and quickly growing out of them. He started on rice cereal right before his 4 month birthday. This boy LOVES to eat. He has to maintain all that chub somehow right?? He has had yams, sweet potatoes, banana, peas, carrots, and today a little avocado. He still nurses or takes pumped bottles like a champ. I tried a little mum mum (rice cracker) at dinner last night but he wasn't a fan yet. We are going to start with a sippy cup of water soon too. He is able to roll around but is a little hesitant on the hard floors. He is starting to sit up and he is soooo happy to sit in the high chair with us at dinner time. David is very ticklish and has the cutest little laugh and chuckle. He is constantly chewing on his fingers and drooling but no teeth yet. He sleeps through the night most nights but sometimes we have to get up to give him back his pipie and he goes back to sleep (not sure if he was waking because of teeth, a little cold, a little tummy trouble.... who knows!) He take a good morning nap for me (not the grandmas....) and an afternoon nap as well. He falls asleep many times if we are out and about too long. He has started talking more and does some pretty impressive yelling (not angry... just loud!). He is figuring out conversation works and will watch one person talk and then turn his head to the other person so they can talk. He adores Jonathan and it is so fun to see them interact more and more. Their favorite things to do together are listen to stories, be in the stroller on a walk, or play "sleepover". David can lay on the floor and play peak a boo with the blankie, momma can lay on the floor and Jonathan can boss us around turning the lights off and on telling us to go to sleep or wake up. Its a win- win for all of us! David does like to watch TV so we try to turn it off whenever he is in the living room. David also loves to be held. He is so much more snuggly than Jonathan was and with those kissable cheeks and soft head it is so hard not to!
