6 Month MacKay




At 6 months, our MacKay:
-Was visiting family in Utah
-Loves "solid" food:  favorites are just about everything.  Green beans are a least favorite, but he'll still eat them.  
-Has been on 3 plane rides & 4 different states (Ohio, Texas, Arizona & Utah)
-Rolls over:  Much better from tummy to back.  He gets "stuck" in the middle of the night on his belly and cries.  
-Loves his binky and is learning how to put it in his mouth by himself.
-Started sleeping THRU THE NIGHT, 10-12 hours, starting on the night of June 19th.  Those chub rolls are now paying off.  
-Loves to nurse and will take a bottle of formula.  (That's now changing to nursing only, again.)
-Teething (now has 2 bottom teeth)  Luckily, the boy was so sweet and didn't complain once about his gums.
-Loves to be with his big Sissy, even if she is pinching. 
-Takes 2-3 naps a day, each ranging from 45 minutes to 3 hours.
-Wears size 3 diapers and moving on to size 4
-Was able to meet ALL of his cousins (except Tanya's kids:( ).
-Loves to laugh, chuckle, giggle.
-Enjoys our kisses and cuddles.
-Is just about one of the most laid-back, easy natured, happy, sweet babies I've ever met- and I'm surely not saying that because I'm his mother.  
-Is called, "Bubba", "Bubs", & "BmacKay" by his adoring big Sis.  

Oh, MacKay, we love you.  You are still an amazing baby.  Can I just push pause right now, and keep you like this for a little while longer?  Really- I mean that.

I miss that baby. I want to eat him up. I'm super sad, I didn't get to say bye to the "BABY" as Sammy calls him. He is just always soooo tired. :)

Ditto on freezing these boys at 6 months! I too love this stage :) I also love it that you have a chubs too. I personally think they are extra cute when they have some extra meat on their bones! Now, if McKay could only give Blake some tips on sleeping through the night......
