Owen Roger - 6 Months Old

What? 6 Months? *sigh* My baby is growing like crazy. I keep looking at Henry's 9 month and 12 month photos, and thinking about how Owen will look like this soon - and I cry.

He has his well child on Wed - so I'll update the stats then :)

WAKE TIME
Same here - about 2 hours, sometimes more depending on what we have going on.

Formula
Owen usually has 4 - 7oz bottles a day

Solids
This boy loves his food. Loves it. For real. So far he eats: rice cereal, green beans, peas, carrots, bananas, peaches, squash and sweet potatoes.

In the beginning we had a mix of cereals going on, but some were causing him digestion issues. Eventually, we figured the rice is best. He's on kind of a weird schedule, but it looks like this:

6:30 - 7 oz bottle
8:00 - rice cereal, starting to add fruit this week
8:30 - nap
10:30 - 7 oz bottle
12:00 - nap
3:00 - bottle
4:00 - 2 oz vegetable (sometimes rice cereal mixed in to thicken)
5:00 - cat nap
6:00 - 7 oz bottle
7:00 - 4 oz rice cereal

Maybe over Holiday Break we'll work on getting him closer to a good breakfast/lunch/dinner schedule.

GAS
I've been giving him gas drops still - especially before bedtime.

NAPS
Still a struggle -- I can't wait until we get past the 30 min. nap in crib issue...

NIGHTTIME SLEEP
For the most part, Owen sleeps from about 8pm until 6:30 when I wake him up. Weekends he'll sleep until 7 or 7:30. We had a rough couple nights this week, but I honestly think teething is just around the corner.

OMM
Owen still goes to therapy every 2 weeks for his crooked ears. It seems to be working, but there's still a big difference from right to left, and we'll continue the therapy probably until he's 1 year old.

Milestones
The boy is so close to crawling. He does his own roll/army almost-crawl so he is able to get where he wants to go for the most part. Of course, I can never see it or video tape it, I just look back and all of a sudden he's all the way across the room! He doesn't have a lot of core strength so he's not really close to sitting up yet.

Here are some photos we had taken a couple of weeks ago -- I should make our holiday card soon too!
