6 Months Old

Pennington turned six months old yesterday. Wow does time fly. Tonight was the first time I have seen Pennington rollover from his back to stomach and stomach to back several times in a row. He can also get his legs up underneath his bottom which is one of the first things babies do before they start crawling. I definitely think he is going to start moving around a lot very soon.

Pennington is really enjoying eating now. He loves pretty much everything except for peas. It is really funny when he eats peas because he tries to blow them out of his mouth.

One thing I would like to mention about Pennington is that he is the EASIEST baby to put to sleep at night. If there is one thing I can be really proud of myself about as a mother it would be that I have totally mastered the bedtime routine. He doesn't need a bottle to fall asleep which is a huge plus. After he eats dinner and has a bottle we play for a while, then take a bath, then read about three stories and he is off to bed. All I have to do is lay him down in the crib, say "nigh-nigh", and he will go straight to sleep. If he doesn't fall asleep within five minutes all I have to do is put his pacifier back in his mouth and he will be out in minutes. In fact, I haven't even had to go give him back his pacifier for a few nights now.

Pennington, thank you sooo much for being such a good baby at bedtime. Mommy loves you.
