Isaac turned 6 months on Sunday, it's crazy to think how much he's grown already. I've been meaning to post this sooner but he's been keeping me busy.
Just moments after you were born.
From your newborn session I did when you were about 2-3 weeks old.
My 6-month boy
Isaac, you always seem to have a finger or some toy in your mouth. No teeth have actually arrived yet, but they are driving you and your mama crazy. You can sit up pretty good now, you roll around everywhere, rock on your knees, and are getting really good at the army crawl.
You eat 3 times a day, baby oatmeal, applesauce, and squash and green beans from the garden. No sleeping through the night yet but this mama has hope.
You are a very curious boy and rarely ever sit still. You babble sounds and love your big sister Lucy, you think she's pretty cool as long as she doesn't smother you too much .
Happy 6 months baby, we love you!
I have been dealing with a crabby teething boy lately, well, for the past 4 months, but it's getting worse. There are rare moments when he is happy and plays by himself (like now), but they usually don't last long. Dishes are never done, laundry is piling up to the ceiling, there are crumbs on the floor, and toys are everywhere. But the more I try to get things cleaned up, the more Isaac protests and cries, or rather screams.
So I've stopped fighting it, my apartment can be dirty all it wants, I don't really care. I'm not a supermom, I'm just me. A mom of two trying to survive on 5-6 hours of sleep (if I'm lucky), because my boy likes to wake me up 3 or more times a night to nurse.
Sometimes he will fall back to sleep but most times does not (trust me, I don't rush to get him), and I'm frustrated because it seems all the women I know personally who have had babies around the same time as me all say that their babies are sleeping through the night, but mine isn't. I would be okay if he only woke up once or even twice a night to feed, but any more than that I feel like a walking zombie, I need my sleep!
Am I doing something wrong? Probably, but what it is I don't know. I would try and let him really fuss it out sometimes, but he sleeps in the same room as we do, so he wakes me up and I figure, might as well nurse because it will help keep my pathetic nursing supply up.
I'm just so tired people.
