6 Months (26 wks)

12-19-08
Weight: 18 lbs 6 oz
Height: 25 1/4 inches

Burke is doing great! He is a very very happy baby. He is quite the talker especially in the mornings and evenings. If you laugh he will laugh. He loves it when we say the ABC's or count to him. His face lights right up. His favorite toy is probably his red hammer. When given a choice he always reaches for it. But he likes anything and everything that will fit in his mouth. He likes playing with his soothy binky but doesn't really ever use it. He just started dropping his toys off the edge of his high chair and then whimpers b/c they are all gone. It's a new game we'll be playing for a while :)
Burke is still a great at night. He typically goes to sleep b/t 7- 7:30 and sleeps for 10 hours (until 5am) then I put him in bed with us feed him and Burke and I go back to sleep until around 8. So he gets about 12 hours of sleep each night. I love waking up to him in between us!
He still loves to jump in his Johnny Jumper, and plays the piano on his activity center. He does great at sitting up. We play on the floor a lot. He has GREAT balance. He's very active during tummy time. He wiggles his way around. He doesn't roll over. Every time we think he's going to he catches himself. Like I said he has great balance.

He plays with toys in his high chair everyday. When we eat I put him in it so we can all be together at the table. Burke has tried bananas twice. I think he liked it. Slowly we'll introduce solid foods. He is still nursing which should be really interesting since he is teething now. We are planning on continuing nursing at least until he's 1. It's a great bonding time for us. He'll look up and smile at me like he's saying 'thanks mom'.

Burke is a definitely a daddy's boy. When Paul gets home from work Burke just watches and smiles at him. Then it's B & daddy time!

Burke is a very easy baby. He loves being in his baby k'tan or baby bjorn carriers. He loves being able to see everything that is going on. If something is within his reach look out because he'll try to get it. He's very talky like his daddy but we all expected that.

Love his vest! He is such a good boy, and can do so many things. What an awesome age. Hope to see him again!

I love all your photos of him. I can see why you enjoy taking pics of him.
It sounds like you are really enjoying being a mom. Soak up those early morning times with him in bed. Things change once there are two kiddos. :( There just aren't as many snuggly moments.
See you in a couple weeks.
