How does time go so fast? I was just looking back through Drew's newborn photos and that only seems like days ago. He continues to bless us with his happy-go-lucky attitude and huge smiles. He is a true delight of a baby and I feel so lucky to have all this time with him.
At 6 months:
- Drew has started finger foods (avocado, banana, steamed carrots and pears). He gets very little in his mouth, but loves to sit at the table and work very hard at picking his food up from his tray. He's so tickled to watch his big brother and big sister at the table.
- Had a bottle break-through tonight with Nate. Took 0.5 ounces in his quiet room without brother and sister around. Before this, we can count on one hand how many times he's taken the bottle.
- Still loves to take short naps. He can nap anywhere. In his crib, in the Ergo, in the stroller at the gym, in the car....maybe he knows he has to be flexible already:)
- Rolls around on the floor and is most interested in the non-baby toys (Magna tiles, big Duplos, Ethan's trucks, etc).
- Has rocked back and forth on all fours 2-3 times (yikes, not yet!!)
- Hasn't quite taken any water yet (although we have tried out of a sippy cup)
- Loves his morning crib bounces, thanks to Ethan
- Loves reading with big sis
- Loves his favorite song, "You are my Sunshine"
- Loves tickles right on his armpits
- Smiles at everyone and will still go to others to be held without fussing for Mommy
- Loves his baths
- Burrows in mommy's shoulders when hungry

Drew at 5 months:
- Rolls from back to front and front to back
- Smiles at everyone and everyone he sees. No stranger danger yet.
- Loves Eliana, especially when she reads and sings to him (and Mommy loves that too because that means I can get dinner on the table).
- Starting to get opinionated about wanting to grab certain toys and when he gets sleepy. Definite clear cries and grunts for milk, toys, sleepy time.
- Easily holds and transfers things from hand to hand.
- Watches us eat and drink (but haven't started solid foods yet)
- Nurses to sleep mostly, but some success with falling asleep when drowsy.
- No specific schedule, mostly naps 30 min at a time, about 4 times a day (and mostly on the go thanks to two older siblings).
- Still loves to be sung to ('You are my sunshine' makes him light up extra big)
- Loves the bath and is trying to roll himself into it from his bath chair
- Gets extra crib buddies in the morning when he wakes up (aka brother and sister)
- Loves to spin around and do "Noble Duke of York"
- Loves to put everything in his mouth....definitely teething and drooling
- Still spitting up like a champ
- Starting to sit up, but still needs assistance
