Thacker Thoughts: 6 Months

Happy half birthday to our handsome little dude! We love having you in our family. I can't believe it has been six months since I met you! You melted my heart then, and you still do now! You are a little cuddle bug still. You have always been cuddly, and it has never gone away, you love to cuddle to fall asleep and when I go in your room to pick you up from a nap. You still like to be swaddled for sleep, and you still sleep in your swing. We are working on the transition to the crib, but you sleep so well now it is hard to make a change! You have been sleeping for 9-10 hours at night, which is amazing, and your mama loves you for it! You aren't the best at napping, its a struggle to get you settled down, and then you only want to sleep for about 40 minutes usually, but you have nights down, so I won't complain! You will almost always calm down if I sing You are My Sunshine or I love to see the Temple to you. We gave you rice cereal this week and you hated it, I let you put your hand in it before you tried it on the spoon and just having your hand in it made you gag. We will be trying something else very soon. I can't blame you, I wouldn't eat rice cereal either! This week you started a sweet thing, as you are falling asleep you rub your hand on my shirt , your jammies, or your blanket. I think it helps you soothe into sleep, and its so cute when you fall asleep holding onto my sleeve. I love you to pieces baby!
