Almost done rewinding, but this is important!
Happy 1/2 birthday to our sweet baby boy Austin. Where did half a year go? Feels like I was just sitting with him in the recliner at 2am nursing a sleepy newborn. I am sad and not ready for his newborn days to be over.
Austin you are a happy boy. So curious as to what is going on and wanting to be doing, going, and touching EVERYTHING! You are very amused by your brother and whenever someone is talking you smile and think they are talking to you! You are a flirt with all the ladies but your mommy is your number one. We are definitely IN LOVE! Mommy is your comfort. I have nursed you now for 6 (almost 7 months) you weighed in at 18 lbs and that is all breast milk! You are almost 27 inches long and your head circumference is in the 90th percentile (that is from your daddy - but it looks good on your chunky body). Dr. Peralstein said it is time for us to break the all night nursing fest and to push the solids even though they aren't your favorite. Mommy knows it is time to end our late night love affair, she is tired and you aren't sleeping well. Dr. Peralstein also said it was time to get you on a schedule - no more on demand feeding and nursing on and off. I know she is right, but it is hard to break a routine that isn't good for us but feels so right:)! So sweet boy even though we have stopped nursing and you now nap at 10am, 2pm, 5pm, and go to bed at 8pm sleeping through the night (yes solids and scheduling only took a few days to put into place) we are still in love and I am still your number one. Mommy LOVES YOU!!!!
PS - you are beginning to do get ready to crawl, any day now!
