Happy Half Birthday, Hutchinson!

Hutchinson turned six months on the 26th. 
Hutchinson is...smiley, funny and happy.  He loves to watch his brother do just about anything.  He is becoming a pro at sitting up (with a few pillows around him for now) and rolling back and forth.  He is becoming a pretty good napper(two 2-hour naps with a little one squeezed in somewhere).  Good sleeper at night...not so much.  We have been struggling to get him to sleep through the night...hopefully soon!  He loves to snuggle and gets excited when you get out books to read.  His little arms and legs kick all over, it is pretty sweet.  He LOVES to play peek-a-boo and looks for you when you are "hiding."  He has moved into his big boy crib in the same room as Finnean.  Besides him not sleeping through the night it has not been too terrible.  They are both doing pretty good with the transition.  Sweet potatoes, apples and bananas are his fav.  Carrots and avocado, not so much.  He is getting so good at keeping the food IN his mouth and is sure to let you know if you are not spooning it fast enough :)  He loves the bath!  Loves it even more when Finnean is in the tub too (he is like built in entertainment!).  Hutchinson has relaxed in the car seat, thank goodness.  He is a pretty easy going guy for the most part.  He doesn't mind when new people hold him.  He DOES mind when I walk away and forget to tell him where I am going!  He seems to be thinning out a bit but isn't losing any of his cute cheeks!  He seems long, can't wait to see how much he has grown.  His hair is growing in and he is getting a second tooth (on the bottom, in the front) and has to be getting some others.  We think that this is the reasoning behind the not sleeping through the night but who really knows!!  He likes anything that lights up or makes music and is getting pretty good at drumming along to brother's guitar playing.  Hutch has started "talking" more and has perfect timing to answer questions that we ask him :)  He went to the YMCA child care (first time at any daycare place) for an hour the other day, Michael couldn't believe it!  He has started to refuse the bottle from Michael when I am gone, little turkey.  We are still breastfeeding, hoping for 6 more months!  When he is tired, under his eyes get red.  He has had his first stuffy, yucky nose and we are hoping for that to pass soon!   He is wearing size 2 diapers and 6 or 6/9 month clothes.  Mainly 3/6 month pants...no booty just like Finnean.  Yes, we do call him Hutch but we also call him Hutchinson or Hutchy or Hutchy baby or H or the little one.  I get this question more than I could ever imagine.  We have stayed close to home this month and have enjoyed that.  I can't tell you enough how much Hutchinson loves to play with Finnean and how much Finnean loves to play with him.  Finnean has just started to want to hold him, which is always a good laugh.  Life is good and it will just keep getting better when we all start getting some sleep!!!  We can't believe that Hutchinson has been here for SIX MONTHS!
PS...more pictures to come of his six month photo shoot(s)!

That picture is adorable! I think it's great that you try avocado with him- Dres is the ONLY kid I know that will eat it. I don't think I had even tried it myself before I bought one for him. :)

Can't wait to see more pics!
