My mood while writing this blog: Ok

********************************UPDATE********************************

took Mason in for his 6 month check-up yesterday. He weighed 18 lb 15.5 oz (75%) and his height was 25.5" (15%). I don't remember exactly what his head measured at...17 " something and that was also at the 75%. He's a big boy, but has "short man syndrome" haha

Anyway, about me being worried about him not rolling over. The doctor was absolutely fine with it since all his other motor skills are there. The doctor told me that he is ready for either pureed meats our baby food meat. So now we're going to start introducing those ti him. I'm also going to try the baby led weaning. I did try it the other night with dinner, but he just looked at it all and threw it on the floor...lol.

His sleeping isn't getting much better. He managed to sleep the ENTIRE night on Sunday, but not last night! School starts tomorrow, so when my oldest is in school...I can get my naps back in :) Yeah right, I will find soemthing better to do! Always works that way.

Well ladies...thank you so much for you replies and suggestions, etc. I will from now on not worry so stinkin' much! haha

Mason turned 6 months yesterday (man, how time flies!). Well, he yet has to roll over (just on occasion with my help - if I turn him on his side he'll SOMETIMES finish the roll out), but tries to sit all the time (round bottom issues there). Everyone is telling me that it's fine he isn't rolling yet, but I think he should be by now, at least one way. He has cut his 2 bottom teeth (right after he turned 5 mos) and loves squash, peaches, bananas, and sweet potatoes (haven't tried any of the others yet). My question is, what are the doctors going to say when he has his 6 mo check-up next Monday (since he's not rolling over)? His APGAR scores were good (8 & 10), so I don't think it has anything to do with that. He recently (about 2 weeks ago) has decided to go back to the infant schedule. I feed him his food around 5-5:30, he has a 6 oz bottle about 8 and then goes right down. He USED to sleep until about 6-7, but now he's waking up every 1 1/2 hours after 11:30. WHAT THE HECK???? He has been sleeping in his own room (used to sleep in a cradle in our room), but when I can't get him back to sleep after 3-4 hours I get suckered into putting him in bed with us. Well then he sleeps soundly the rest of the night until about 8-9. What do you ladies think of this??? Be honest with me, it's not going to make me think any different of you if you are brutal with me on this!!
