The Life of 6 month old Leland

Loves: milkies, milkies, milkies although he has recently begun having conversations while nursing. It is so funny but a little too personal to video. He also loves to play hide and seek all by himself. He throws his cow over his face and runs in place with his legs... after a few seconds, he pulls the cow off and smiles. He also began not flunking the stroller- yay! we have enjoyed 2 jogs together... I am hopeful. He loves to be worn which is fine but I can't really wear a 21 lb baby, push a 35 lb big boy and yank on a 50 lb dog... Today he had his first biter biscuit which he enjoyed- naturally. He has been getting up in the night for about 10 days (which is unusual). He nurses about 12 times a day (yikes!) so I have been giving him more baby food and last night with carrots and peas in his tummy, he finally slept through again. I really feel for my Mama friends with non-sleepers. He is so chubby and sweet right now. He is reaching for Mama and crying when I leave the room. He is much more of a snuggly baby than Beau was so I'm enjoying that part. Ryan and I admit to not loving the baby stage but he is irresistable. You point the camera at that baby and he smiles.

Yeah for Peas and Carrots! Katie's loving food now...I'm still trying to figure out how to feed the kids and get some food in my belly, too!
