James 6 and 7 Months

On January 1st, 2015 James turned 6 months old. What a way to celebrate the New Year. We are so thankful to have our 3rd boy with us and are looking forward to a wonderful year with many special milestones for James. At 6/7 months old, he is just as happy, adorable, and fun as ever. James is wanting to sit up alone, but not quite there. He is rolling around a lot more and loves grabbing his toes. We've been struggling to figure out how he wants to sleep. He still loves being swaddled, but started breaking out of his double swaddle! After trying to have him sleep unswaddled for several days (and him being so sleep deprived), I decided to come up with something new. We are currently swaddling his arms and then putting a sleep suit over the swaddle...it's crazy! I'll be glad when he decides he wants to sleep on his tummy. James is getting more vocal with his squeals and cries (although he hardly ever cries). He'll have to continue to be loud if he wants to be heard in this household. He loves playing peek-a-boo, splashing in the bath, watching his big brothers, being outside, and teething on everything. He's not a fan of solid food...I'm continuing to try though. Everyone seems to love and comment on James' hair: 1. that is sticks straight up, and 2. that it is blonde. James still has blue eyes, and I'm thinking they may stay that way. At his 6.5 month check up, James weighed 16 lbs, 4 oz and was 27 inches.
