Six months of Logan!
Here we are again and this time with our six months update, I must admit I am very behind with this post as Logan turned 6 months on 29th Nov and its now January meaning we're 7 months.... OOPS! I blame Christmas!
Anyway, lets dive straight in!
WEIGHT/HEIGHT - I still have no idea, I've had lots of anxieties about taking him to get weighted, I can see that hes putting on weight and having nowhere within walking distance puts me off. I am gonna pluck up the courage and take him somewhere soon.
ROUTINE - We now have a routine! Sometimes this goes out of the window when Sams wrestling or we're at friends/grandparents but always around the same time. I start bedtime from 9pm, usually bottle and bed, sometimes bathtime too but we don't like to bath him every night.
Wake up times are still the same 10/11am so hes sleeping for a good stretch! Once awake he has an 8oz bottle, usually has a morning nap then breakfast once he wakes up again! Throughout the day we play, he loves the jumparoo. We also still love teletubbies so we'll have that on in the background.
Hes drinking 3 bottles and 2 meals a day now!
SLEEPING - Now this is something we struggled with for a while, we went through a stage of co-sleeping as he became super clingy after his 16 week jabs but I knew that enough was enough and we got a cozi sleeper crib , the change was instant! Once we were in a proper routine it worked wonders, admittedly it took alot of hard work (and a fair amount of crying from us both) but were nailing it now and hes sleeping soundly most nights. Now the routine is working I am tempted to move Logan into his cot but selfishly i'd really miss having him next to met at night.
Side note on naps, Logan is napping once maybe twice a day now and very rarely sleeps in the pram.
SIZES - We're now in 3-6, almost 6-9. Hes growing so fast now he's on solids! In nappies we're in size 3s, close to size 4.
MILESTONES:
✷ Sitting unaided
✷ Eating solid foods - we decided to start with baby jars and hes taken to it so well, we've not found a food he doesnt like yet!
✷ Rolls from front to back
✷ Recognises himself in the mirror and speaks to himself
✷ Loves sticking his tongue out!
✷ Found feet
At 6 months Logan is learning something new every day! Giggling is still a thing but its more of a proper laugh now and he will laugh all day long!
As we hit 6 months we've discovered our tongue, as well as our feet! Bum changes are such a struggle now and he moves so much!
As i mentioned above we're now eating solids, we started with baby jars - we love Heinz baby. Logans favourites are Fruit medley custard and chocolate pudding, takes after his parents on the chocolate front!
Logan is becoming such a character now, his personality is really shining through - hes very loving, cheeky, mischievous!
I mentioned in our 3 month update that Logan was teething, that seems to have stopped! We're now 7 months and 1 week and still no teeth!
HOWS MAMA - I still feel good, better than I have done recently. I went through a big stage of anxiety. I was spending alot of time alone due to Sam working and wrestling and it really got to me. I couldn't bring myself to seek help from drs but things got brighter, Sam had a longer period of better shifts at work and then he started nights..... I thought this would trigger the anxiety back but I was fine! Admittedly I didn't sleep well at night without him but I coped well, parenting alone is tricky though!
I mentioned in our 3 month update about itching to go back to work, this has changed! Things got muddled up along the way and I'm looking at transferring pubs and the one as I was at cant accommodate the shifts i'd need to do due to childcare.
All in all things are okay! Not great but this too shall pass!

I'm so excited to see what the next few months bring, as I said Logan is learning something new everyday! Our next update will be 8 months!
