Baby BB-Ford: Happy 6th Month Birthday

Food!

Real Food= Real Poop= More baths

Lance is really changing. I mean, he's been changing since he was born, but he's quickly turning into a little boy. He loves eating, he's super active, he grabs onto everything and puts it into his mouth with accuracy. He can make his squeaky toys squeak, he splashes in the bath, and he will grab your earrings, glasses, hair, necklace or anything else hanging off of you and he won't let go without a fight.

We've noticed that LJ will sleep in a little later (8:30am!) if we put him to bed a little later. No, he doesn't sleep through the night, but he consistently only wakes up once, no more than twice a night. It isn't bad at all. I haven't been pumping before bed anymore, which means Leighton doesn't do a feeding anymore. I absolutely hate pumping. I have to sit there waiting, hoping for more ounces. Plus Leighton is interning at Kaiser, which means getting up early, so I don't mind doing the night shift so that he can sleep a bit more. He claims he misses it, but I'm not convinced. He's still the one who wakes up when LJ cries.

Overall, life is better than imagined. All of my friends seem to be having babies, which means more baby friendly events, more support and even more stuff in common. My first niece is due in 7 weeks and we are all so excited. Yuki helps me with Lance during the day, and Karl helps Leighton in the evening. I am still working part time from home, spending most of my time with this amazing son of mine. The weather continues to be weirdly sunny so we've been taking long walks in the neighborhood, often stopping in a shop or two to buy gifts. We have a beautiful Christmas tree and bulging stockings for everyone in the house. Santa came a little early and got me the new iPhone and DJ got the coolest video gaming system ever--Kinect. We're all smiles around here, looking forward to sharing our joy with all those we love during the holiday season. Love, love, love!
