I didn't get a a great picture at his 6 month check up because he loved the crinkly sound of the paper so he would't look up.
Rhodes had his first visit to the church nursery this month as a 6 month old. They said he did great until the very end of class and his bottle ran out. Oops! I'll always pack two bottles from now on so he will have plenty to eat at church.
He is still nursing every couple of hours, but on our way home from church last week I bought some formula so I can start supplementing when he needs to have bottles available.
What a chunk hunk!
Rhodes has been in our room in a pack and play until this month. You just never know if you will have another sweet newborn sleeping by your bed, so I kept him there longer than necessary.
When we found out we were expecting Rhodes, I insisted on getting matching cribs for Rhodes and Palmer because I just knew they would be so precious in a room together. Well, the cribs did look adorable together, but there is no way for them to share a room just yet. They are on somewhat different schedules. Palmer is loud. Palmer loves to "share" his toys by throwing them into the crib, etc.
I finally made the leap to put Rhodes in his crib for naps and night time so we moved the crib into the guest room at the foot of the bed. While he doesn't have a whole "nursery" set up, it is so much more practical for him to have his own room right now.
With three boys, I'm confident that some combination of brothers will share a room at some point, just not yet.
Rhodes seems to sleep better in his crib. He typically goes to bed some time between 7pm and 8pm and is up around 6am. He is up once or twice a night. Rhodes naps 2-3 times a day.
Rhodes loves his bath and is just content to relax in the water as long as possible. I have to say he has outgrown the puj tub, but I am hoping to make it work until he can sit in the big tub.
Rhodes is never lacking in attention from his brothers!
These days he loves to roll around, likes to put everything in his mouth and constantly has his hand in his mouth.
He is wearing 9 months clothes or 9-12 month, depending on how it runs. He is in size 3 diapers and they are none too big.
He can sit for a second or two unsupported, but can sit longer with a little support.
We love you Rhodes and can't wait to have more adventures with you this month!
