6 Months With Talmage

Favorite Things:  People playing down on the ground with you.

Special Talent:  Rolling in circles.  Somehow you do it.  I haven't payed much attention as I am always off doing something and then coming back to you, but one minute you'll be faced one way and the next you'll be 180 to it.  You chewed your first item that you weren't supposed to be able to reach and make a big, paper and spit mess on the floor and whimpered as I dug it all out of your mouth.

Favorite Pastime: Tummy time.  You absolutely love being on the ground.

NickNames:  T-Man

Sleep:  Winter break really threw a curve ball at us this past month and you were getting up around 8 am after going to bed closer to 9 and 10.  Never did you throw a fit or anything about not being in your bed.  You catch naps after being up for every two hours until the evening.  Then you last from about 3 - bed time without a nap.

Eating: Maybe this is your favorite thing, actually.  You love your food.  I give you enough cereal to mix with 3 or 4 ounces of formula combined with one pea or carrot food jar.  I was topping you off with 4 oz of water until Nana added some prune juice to your water and you haven't been happy with water since.  So now you are a juice boy and then I remembered that you should probably still be getting more formula than just from your cereal so instead of juice I give you 4 oz of formula in a sippy cup after each meal to top you off. 

Crying:  Poopy diapers and when you're tired.

Dislikes:  Loud noises and people in your face.  

Likes:  Toys.  They have finally grabbed your attention and you love them.  Especially a ball that you got 3 of this past Christmas.  It's easy to grab onto because it is more like a wired together ball than an actual ball, so it is very easy to grasp and you love getting it and throwing it and getting it back.

My favorite part:  Kissing your forehead goodnight.  It is the perfect size and shape right now that my lips can just press against it perfectly.  I also like getting you up in the morning.  You are so happy to see me that you squirm and smile really big.  No noise, just a lot of wiggling back and forth and big smiles.
