Alexander just turned 6 months old and here I am, again, wondering how 6 months has managed to just fly by so quickly. That’s half a year of life that my brand new baby has just experienced. It definitely has me thinking and feeling many emotions.

Alex is such a happy baby and has made my transition into a mother of two a piece of cake!! He is just such a calm baby, I know that when he cries it’s for a reason, whether it’s a diaper change, nap time or time for his snack.

Alex’s calm personality was obvious since birth. I would worry about him as a newborn because he always looked so relaxed and in his own little world. Many made fun of me for teasing Alex but I wasn’t used to a chill baby since his brother was a beaming firecracker since day one!

As a newborn, I would have to wake him up to feed him and fight with him to stay awake during a feeding. He cried very little and in a way tested my mommy instincts on figuring out his schedule and routine. Now that Alex is in the infant stage, he is more expressive of his needs and will holler when he needs something. I definitely enjoy seeing his personality start to develop.

Alex enjoys watching daddy and brother Sebastian play. He giggles when they play “monster” and I’m sure is taking notes on how to beat them both. Alex entertains himself with all types of infant toys and has began squirming around during tummy time. He’s definitely traveling about and rolling all over the place, especially during diaper change. He’s sitting up on his own and currently only has two teeth protruding from his bottom gums, causing a drool fest and about to make breastfeeding very interesting.

We’ve just introduced Alex to solids. He struggled quite a bit with solids but has thus adjusted just fine. He has pretty much been co-sleeping with daddy and I, until recently where he’s been doing great on his own. He also enjoys the pacifier and chewing on his hands.

We are super happy with our cooperative baby Alex. He doesn’t fight us for anything! Hopefully things stay like that forever!! HA, yeah even I just laughed at that…well I’m a wishful thinker so ehhh we’ll see! Either way, we couldn’t be happier and love being this little guys parents! Stay chill little Alex.
