Keeping Up With The Cronins

Happy Half Birthday, Eden!

6 months!!!

Eden, you are...
* such a ham when the camera comes out!
* in love with your brother. You watch his every move and are constantly laughing at him. You love to pull his hair and luckily he's ok with that. ;)
* fascinated with your toes.
* sitting up solo.
* sleeping in about 3 hour increments during the night. I'll get up and feed you and 99% of the time you go right back to sleep. There have been a few occasions where you haven't and on those nights I'm very tempted to have you cry it out, but then you go back to your norm and I drop the idea. During the day you've been much better about napping on your own recently. Until a week or so ago you napped while being held, but now we're on a streak of at least one nap in the crib a day. I'll take it!
* back on your bottle strike.
* eating solids! So far you've had avocado and banana and have been a fan of both. We're going to back off the banana until your 6th month pediatrician visit (late again, oops) because there's a possibility you have an allergy although Google says banana allergies are rare. You have broken out into a rash around your mouth after eating it though, which is exactly what Parker did when eating eggs.
* finally well! You had your first cold, first ear infection (double!), and first stomach bug in December. You ran a fever and threw up every day all day for a week. Parker and Daddy also had ear infections at the same time so the Cronins were a pitiful crew for a bit.
* growing hair, slowly but surely. I'm not sure yet if it will be as blonde as Parker's or if it will be curly.
* making raspberry sounds with your mouth (which Darcy isn't crazy about).
* putting everything in your mouth.
* officially rolling over. You prefer to roll tummy to back. You can roll back to tummy, but you usually stop on your side and grab your toes.
* a lovey fan. Just like big brother.
