On April 7, 2015 Sutter J. turned 6-months-old!
Weight: 17lbs 15oz! Sutter is still pretty chubby but its all belly and cheeks. He has the shortest legs, thanks to his daddy.
Length: 26.5 inches!
Size: 3-6 months still. I bought all 6-12 month for summer, but it is HUGE. I wish baby sizes were consistent. He is too big for some 6 month things, but 6-12 is giant, and 9 month fits. We are in size 3 diapers now too.
Hair: The bald spot is starting to grow some hair (enter excitement)! He still has the fabulous rat tail and the back bangs. His hair is so, so long. He needs a cut probably, but I think I am going to try and wait until 1 year. It's also a bit lighter I think. Still brown, but light.
Eyes: I don't even know. They look blue, but grey and also brown. Who knows? Haha.
Nicknames: Literally everything under the sun. Booger and Bug are pretty frequently used.
Sleeping: We are back in the crib, Hallelujah! He goes to bed anywhere from 6-7. It depends on what time he woke up from his nap that day. He is normally up 1-2 times at night. Normally 2 naps during the day, they range from 45min-2 hours.
Diet: Still exclusively breastfed. We plan on introducing foods this month!
Health: Had some reflux issues this month. So he was switched from Zantac to Prevacid. It has seemed to help some, but not a ton.
Milestones/Memorable Moments:
- Rolling from back to belly!!!
- Sleeping back in the crib.
- First Easter
- First pair of shorts!
Loves:
- Talking.
- HANDS.IN.MOUTH.
- Baths.
- Being naked.
- SCREAMING.
- Front facing in the Ergo 360.
- Watching TV.
Dislikes:
- Being held while sitting.
- Putting clothes on/taking them off.
- Being hungry.
- Having acid reflux.
- Having to get in the carseat.

Dalton's parents came down to visit and brought Sutter some Valentine's Day presents. Sutter thinks his Abuela is hilarious. He always laughs at her.

Sutter was so sleepy this weekend for some reason. This night he fell asleep at 5:30. I fed him and then handed him to his daddy where he passed out cold. I love this picture of my two favorite boys!
On March 7, 2015 Sutter J. turned 5-months-old!
Weight: 16 pounds 3 ounces! This boy is huge and I love knowing that I made every single one of those rolls. Love my little chunky booger!
Length: 25.5 inches!
Size: 3-6 months. Some 6 month things are starting to get a little big tight. And I have put him in a couple 6-12 month things as well as 9 month things. They are still a little big, but starting to fit better! It's been warm this week and most of his 3-6 month stuff is winterish. We are still in size 2 diapers!
Hair: Still got that awesome bald spot going on. As well as the rat tail. It's getting so, so long. Like I think he is going to need a trim pretty soon. It goes past his ears now and his bangs are starting to get into his eyes. I think it's going to be a light(ish) brown.
Eyes: They are grey at the moment, but I am pretty sure they are going to end up being a brown.
Nicknames: Buddy, Honey, Baby, Love-Bug, Sutty Buddy, Booger, Stinker...
Sleeping: We were doing pretty well in the Zipadee-Zip and crib, but I'm not sure what happened, because Buddy decided to stop sleeping. So now we are back in the mamaRoo at night. He refuses to take naps in the crib as well. He goes to sleep at 7:30 and sleeps until about 2 and then is up at 5 and then back to sleep until 8. We are going to start transitioning out of the mamaRoo very soon because he is starting to try and sit-up.
Diet: Exclusively breastfed. We still don't plan on introducing any type of solids until 6 months. I am planning on doing a combination of "Baby-Led Weaning" and purees. I am excited to start introducing solids! I can't believe we are already almost at that point!
Health: Happy and healthy boy!
Milestones/Memorable Moments:
- Rolling from belly to back.
- Belly laughs.
- Found his feet finally!
- Slept throughout the night (a couple times).
Loves:
- Talking.
- Sticking everything in his mouth. Especially his hands.
- Laughing.
- Being naked.
- Riding in his new stroller.
- Front facing in the Ergo 360.
- The mamaRoo.
- Screaming/seeing how loud he can get.
Dislikes:
- Being held while sitting.
- Putting clothes on/taking them off.
- Being hungry.
On February 7, 2015 Sutter J. turned 4-months-old!
Weight: 14 pounds 10 ounces of pure chunky love!
Length: 25 inches! We went from the 25 percentile to the 51st in height!
Size: Mostly in 3-6 month clothes, but some 0-3 items still work. I have had to put away almost all 0-3 month things, and it. is. heartbreaking. When did my baby get so big? We are also in size 2 diapers!
Hair: Perfect rectangular bald spot on the back of his head with the most adorable rat tail underneath (haha)! His hair is so, so thick on top and some days it looks very light and others it looks much darker. He is also starting to get some Amish type side burn bang type things going on as well.
Eyes: Up until this month they have been a dark blue, but I think they are starting to change a bit. They are still primarily blue, but I am starting to see some brown in them as well.
Nicknames: Buddy, Honey, Baby, love-bug, Sutty Buddy...
Sleeping: We get one long stretch from about 8:30-2:30 and then it's up every 2-3 hours. I ordered a Zipadee-Zip and plan on transitioning out of the swaddle as soon as that arrives. We will also be moving him to his crib in his own room (AHHHHH) this month as well. We got some mesh bumpers so I feel a lot more comfortable with him sleeping in their while unswaddled.
Diet: Exclusively breastfed. We don't plan on introducing any type of solids until 6 months.
Health: Overall very healthy. Is a little congested at the moment. Handled his shots like a champ! His reflux has been acting up a bit this month. We upped his dosage of Zantac to help.
Milestones/Memorable Moments:
- He puked on my head while sitting on my shoulders right after showering.
- Trying to roll over all the time. He is so close from back to front. Doesn't seem interested from front to back at all.
- Laughing more and more. It is still hard to get him to laugh on command, but I hoping this next month it gets easier.
Loves:
- Talking. LOUDLY.
- The mamaRoo. It has been a lifesaver.
- His O-Ball.
- Still baths, always baths.
- His dad. He loves that guy so much.
- Still standing. And now he wants you to stand while holding him.
- His Li-Li. He seriously loves my mom so much. He just smiles and talks to her.
- Diaper changes on his changing pad.
- Sleeping with momma in the morning after dad goes to work.
Dislikes:
- Being held while sitting.
- Having gas.
- Being hungry.
- Still tummy time. But we have improved so much since last month!

On our way to see our St. Joseph family for Sunday Family Dinner! So peaceful on the trek there, but so angry on the way home.

We tried and tried and tried to take a good family photo and we have about 30 pictures that look a little like this. I love these boys more than anything in the whole world and I am so lucky that I get to call them mine everyday of forever!
My life may be so far from glamorous that you have to take a space shuttle to get from one to the other, but even so it's everything I want and then some.
I am currently nursing Sutter in our bed and I can see the snow falling out the window. I can hear the creeks of this old house we call home. And I can feel my sweet boys slow rhythmic breathing against my body. These are small things that I don't ever want to forget. This is our now and I can't imagine anything sweeter.

I couldn't just choose one. I love them both too much.
Sutter is seriously obsessed with gettings baths. That is his special time with his daddy and let me tell ya, the boy enjoys it. We are going to start swimming at the gym within the next few months and I am so excited!
The second photo is what Sutter does all day long. Hands in mouth. All day every day. He chews and chews. I'm not sure if it's just baby discovery or he's starting to teeth? The kid is a drool machine too. We recently started putting him in the exersaucer too. He loves it, especially since he only wants to stand. So standing + easy access to his hands = Sutter Liu's heaven.
