Jesse is 6 months and 3 weeks old!
Eating: when last we left, Jesse was just doing cereal and had tried Avocados. Since then, he has had sweet potatoes (which he loved, but we're a little thick so it lasted a long time after I thinned out the batch I had), Peas (which did not go over well, but he ate them), Bananas (he had a few tries at gumming from our whole bananas and then he had a week of puréed which he ate right up). He has also had a taste of watermelon and Nana loves to give Jesse a little taste of lemonade.
At his last appointment, however, we were sure his complaining and screaming fits were teething related, , but when his doctor informed us his teeth are nowhere close (ugh...) she suggested going off solids for a week. Well he was cleansed out pretty well, but he has been eating every 2.5 hours around the clock. Needless to say, we are starting cereal back up this week. Which brings us to....
Sleeping: He is taking a short morning nap between 8 and 10 depending on when he wakes up, a noonish nap, a longer 3:00 nap and sometimes a short nap around 6 to get him to his bedtime which is 8:00 every night. During the milk cleanse he was up at 11pm, 2 or 3am and 5:30 with a wake up time around 7. Last night he slept through the night though!! First time in almost a month! It felt really nice.
Playing: he is ready to move! Jesse is getting great at sitting, falling to his belly from sitting, pushing up to all fours, and scooting backwards. As much as he hates tummy time still, he hates not being able to move around even more. He is in love with tags. You can put any toy in front of him and he will just go for the tag of it. He also loves to play with anything that isn't a toy. My phone, my water bottle, wipes, straws... He wants to grab them all.
Me! I've been going and going! Working on the weekends, taking jesse on stroller walks in the afternoon, editing photos after Jesse falls asleep. I LOVE being a photographer by the way. Every bit of it. It makes me feel so excited every time I think about it! Being able to do something I love and make it what I do. Check my website for updates and sneak peeks!

We just spent the afternoon putting together new porch furniture for Nana and it's so lovely out here right now. In fact, I am soaking up the setting sun and fresh air on the new love seat right now!
Here are a bunch of fun pictures from the iPad!
Enjoy!
