6 Months and Counting

Six months has come and gone and it's hard to imagine it much before then. Both Spencer and Jared have changed immensely. Spencer is now 18 lbs and 27 3/4 inches. Big boy:) I have been curious and wondering if I should be worried about Spencer not sitting up. Jared was sitting well before six months and Spencer just hadn't seemed even close. I'd sit him on the floor and he'd either lay to the side back or forward right away. I knew he had strong tummy muscles because he's constantly lifting his feet and head up off the ground when lying on his back and that's tough you try it! Anyways... on his six month mark he just started sitting up for a short period and by the next day he was sitting up for minutes at a time.
A few days before his appointment he had been running a fever and I'd been having a hard time keeping him below 100 degrees. It ended up he had an ear infection. Poor guy, this is his second already! His sleeping has gotten worse since being sick so we are now back into trying to get him sleeping through the night again. I can't wait to have at least three bedrooms!

wow, I can not believe he is already 6 months. and over 18 pounds that is a big boy. Parker was small I know but he didn't hit 18 pounds til 10-or 11 months. and congrats on sitting up, isn't it funny how fast they learn things.

Anytime there's an illness with a baby it's two steps back, but in a few days you move a step forward. I just struggle with the "extra" step. What a cutie!!
