Finn is 6 months old today! We've made it a whole half a year. Needless to say, this past 6 months has flown by.
Finn is such a big boy and achieving milestones left and right. Sometimes, I have to slow down and remember that he's just 6 months, even though I look at him and I see a 9-10 month old baby.
This month has been a good one for sure! Finn is now sitting up all on his own and is interested in everything. We've also started the wonderful world of tantrums where he arches his back and tries to wriggle free when he's not happy with something. This is extremely prevalent when it comes to the car seat in particular. He's not a fan.
He is still putting everything and anything in his mouth at all times, even my hair. We don't have any teeth yet, but I can't imagine that they're far away. He is one drooly little dude that's for sure.
He is starting daycare next week and we attended the grand opening of the new infant room at Lincoln's school where Finn will also be going. The building is beautiful and while I know he's in wonderful hands, I hate that my sweet boys have to be shipped off to daycare.
We are still slowly working on solids. For as big a boy as Finn is, he is not a huge fan of eating. It's a struggle to get him to finish a bottle and he's just not that into solid food yet. We've tried a handful of things, including most fruits and veggies that can easily be blended up and he even got his first taste of some blended up pork roast, but regardless of what we give him, he scrunches his nose up at us.
He is also struggling with the whole chewing motion, often times choking on thicker purees and those baby teething biscuits. It's a strange occurence because Lincoln took to solids so quickly and so well. We never really ran into issues with chewing, choking, etc. They are proving to be two very different little boys!
Lincoln and Finn are loving each other more and more. Lincoln is constantly asking to play with him and we are constantly reminding him to be gentle. Finn stares in awe of Lincoln and is constantly tracking him with his eyes. Watching them bond is such a fun experience.
Finn is a talker for sure. He gets that from his mama and is constantly cooing and babbling away. From the moment he wakes up in the morning until he goes to bed, we're hearing him chat away. And speaking of sleep, or lack there of, he is not the greatest at it. I hadn't thought Lincoln was a great sleeper, but he is putting Finn to shame with his sleep game. Finn is still struggling to go even 5 hours at night and is still needing a bottle to get back to bed. I am hoping that when we get back from the island this Labor Day, sleep training will work, but who knows.
That is 6 months in a nutshell. We are loving our baby boy more and more. He is such a happy, smiley little dude and we just love having him around!
And for comparison...Lincoln's
