Clothing size: 
Six month clothing fits him right now.  Nine and twelve month clothing fit with a little room to wiggle.  Really, I just dress him for the weather -- on warm days, he wears summer clothes, and cooler days he wears layers.  I don't pay as much attention to the sizes as I do the temperature.

 Eating:  
Nursing whenever he wants... and really whenever he wants because he has not been away from me for the entire month.  In addition to breastmilk, he's tasted rib bones, a peaches, and applesauce.  He doesn't really like anything so far except the rib bones.


Sleeping:  
Hunter slept in a bassinet next to our bed until six months... and then that very night, I moved him to the crib in the nursery.  He's been in the nursery a few nights and he has slept very well -- one night he slept from 10:30-5:15.  That was amazing!!!  He had taken a few naps in the crib this month while I was working in the nursery, but now he's officially in his own room.


New things/discoveries: 

He puts EVERYONE in his mouth!

He sits up by himself for a few minutes at a time

He doesn't roll over but he scoots himself around on his back with his heels.

He pushes himself backwards in his walker.

He sticks his tongue out and sucks on it... its really funny.

This month, I realized he does not love the carseat anymore... probably because he has ridden twice in the past two months.

Playing in the water outside



   New Accomplishments: 
This is my fifth child and why am I only just now realizing that this is essentially the same category as New Things/Discoveries?


Likes: 
Being outside

Being around his siblings

Soft blankets

Tags -- like the silky tags on her stuffed animals

Its hard to make a list because Hunter is really a happy baby boy... I'd have an easier time to list what he doesn't like.  He likes everything.


Dislikes:

The carseat for too long

Cold water



 Places He's Gone:
We went to buy bows and arrows in Grand Junction.

We went to the archery range.


I took him with me to gather materials from some schools.

Not to Disney World... that trip was scheduled for the end of April and canceled
