Sutton -- 6 months

 
We can't believe Sutton is now 6 months old!!!  Time sure flies when you are having fun!  Sutton is a very active baby who keeps us moving constantly.  He loves watching his big brother Sawyer and can now roll and move over to get Sawyer's toys.  He is coming up all all 4's and can even army crawl forward.  When we lay him down on a blanket, he does not stay on the blanket -- he is always moving!  He can sit up with support, and his trunk control is improving daily.  He loves his exersaucer and can jump up/down and spin himself around in it.  When you hold him, he wants to stand -- not sit -- on your lap.  He is full of smiles and has started yelling and blowing spit bubbles.  He still really likes to eat and now eats cereal/fruit in the morning, fruit & veggies for lunch, and cereal/veggie & fruit for dinner in addition to 4 or 5 bottles everyday.  He understands the few sign language signs we use with him and gets especially excited about "eat" and "bath."  He can giggle now and only Sawyer can get him really laughing hard.  We love to watch them interact.  Sutton loves us, but he really loves his big brother!  One of the most exciting things ---- he can now sleep through the night!!!!  We only had two nights of crying for 45 minutes one night and 15 minutes the next.  We now put him in his crib at bedtime and he will roll around, talk to himself and snuggle with his bunny to fall asleep.  He goes to sleep ~7:00pm and will sleep until ~6:30am.  We take him to the doctor next week and will have official stats on him next week.  He is really a fun baby & brings a lot of joy to our family.
