Six months!

It’s the 23rd of March already – boy this year is flying by! Of course that means that it’s Oscar’s monthly birthday, and today he reached the ripe old age of six months!

Oscar six months

It’s getting harder and harder to take the monthly photograph of him now, because the little wriggler just doesn’t want to stay still! Even just trying to hang on to him is an effort now, as he’s always trying to launch out of our arms to grab on to something! And to top it all off: his favourite trick this month is jumping! If you’re sitting down and holding on to him, you instantly become his own personal Jolly Jumper (or sometimes his “Grumpy Jumper” depending on his mood).

On the diet front, we’ve started introducing more solid foods – some of which he likes (yay, pumpkin!), some, not so much (boo, potato!).

But by far, the best progress he’s made this month is on the sleeping front, which Kristy and I are both very thankful for! His naps during the day now routinely hit 1.5 hours (sometimes more!), where he used to struggle to hit 40 minutes. This also means he’s much happier during awake times, which means we’re getting way more smiles and laughs!

Ah, the joy of parenthood!

Sweet little man! I want to squeeze him! He totally looks like he’s ready to run off and take care of a bunch of things.

[...] comparison to his six month photo, he doesn’t appear to have grown up all that much this month, but he definitely looks a bit [...]
