Quincy boy is six months old. Even strangers are telling me how fast time flies. Stats? Well, he’s looking more and more like me (Sarah), so people say. I keep wondering what his hair is going to do. We’re still messing with the cradle cap and diaper rash. The doctor said the rash still looks yeasty to him and some diaper free time will clear it up. I’m very reluctant to try that, for one, the mess…and two, it’s cold. Other than that, he’s been pretty healthy the last month. He won’t have to get more shots until 15 months, if I remember correctly.

One of the things we love about Quincy is his easy goingness.  He’s such a sweet little guy. He loves his big brother and continues to laugh hysterically at any little antic Kaelem does, which of course, eggs Kaelem on all the more. I can’t wait for the day they can start doing brotherly things together. Kaelem gives him a kiss and hug almost every night and will randomly come up to him and say, “I love you Quincy” throughout the day.

He has fallen under his birth growth curve, but continues to grow. He’s still eating every three hours during the day and we’ve also given him solid foods like rice, oatmeal, bananas, squash, and sweet potatoes. He’s taken to all of it very well and hasn’t had the gagging reflexes Kaelem did. For the past two months he’s been waking up at hungry at 3am, so we tried giving him a bottle of formula after his last evening nursing. It only worked to stuff him so much that he lost all his dinner, so we haven’t tried that again since. Anyway, the last week he’s slept a good 8-9 hours straight, which has made all the difference to me. finally!

The week we got home from our travels, he rolled completely over from back to front and front to back. He’s been at it since and pushing up on his arms. I try to put him down on his belly whenever possible while awake, rather than propping him up or putting him in the swing/bumbo. He appears to be sitting unsupported in the picture, and he was for a brief second before tipping! He’s usually happy with tummy time and if not will flip over and find a toy to grab. We’re having to teach Kaelem now to keep small objects out of Quincy’s reach. I was finally able to capture a complete roll on camera. He was sweet enough to do that for me even though he was ready for a nap!
