Round 2

Otti and I are going on a 12 day stretch of togetherness.  I feel like one lucky Gram because over and over every day he's a smiley, happy baby! He even does his happy baby yoga pose for you in the video:)                      

This weekend we had our second overnighter.  We went to the cabin for a boat ride, ate at Cedar Creek with Great Grandma, Julius, Gpa and Auntie Sandy and then headed home.

Bath went a bit easier with a square laundry basket.  Seriously genius!  They should market them as a tub for 6 months olds.  Ot could sit and splash in the water and his toys didn't float out of reach.

He slept from 8-4, then had a bottle and snuggled the rest of the night in Gram and Gpas bed.  Honestly high cute quotient when Otti wakes up, stretches his arms and pulls out that big smile in bed to start your day:)          
                                                          
                On Friday, Ot is 6 months old…
He is creeping, scooting, sliding and rolling his way to wherever he would like to go.  I have witnessed arms stretched full out with his butt in the air once, so he's working on the next stage for sure.

Eating real food!  Ot has had avocado…(a constipator evidently) and sweet potato so far.  Sweet potatoes have the opposite effect of the avocado, so there has been a couple interesting blowouts with mid day baths;)  

Outdoors!  Truly one of Otto's great loves (besides puppies).  We take lots of walks, sit in the grass playing and walk around touching every texture possible.  So fun to see the wonder in his eyes!


Otti is growing.  I am looking forward to seeing his ht/wt ratio at his appt next week.  He is now out of his 6 months clothes and into 9 months.  I think he grew in and out of the 6 month clothes in a matter of weeks.  Time is flying and I'm so grateful I get to spend my days with our sweet little boy, Otto.

  1. Oh my goodness. I'm not sure that he will be using Dec's hand-me-downs for much longer. D is still wearing 9 month shorts because he's so skinny!
    Otto, we miss you! Sending kisses to you and Gram!

  2. Well svj, I should clarify…His upper half is longer then his lower half by one size;) He's inherited his Gpa Mike's and Auntie Livs taller upper body. He's still in 6 mos for bottoms. We miss you too!
