The many faces of - six months

The many faces of Forrest, Marin, & Wilder at six months old.

Forrest 🌲

This little man has very much turned into a cuddle bug this last month with a preference for being held (or else). Thankfully, he’s still obsessed with the one wooden ring on our play gym, and it will entertain him for hours! He’s still our most sensitive baby, still with a sense of stranger danger and apprehension in new situations. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
He, too, loves to roll more now and is the best at hanging out on his belly without much complaining. He’s getting better with solid foods and his favorite thing ever is sweet potato! Like his dad, however, he has little to no patience when it comes to certain things and really hates bed time routine until the bottle is in his mouth 😂⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

Marin June 🌻

If anyone has come out of their shell this month, it’s this little girl. She’s always been our very serious baby - staring anybody new down and laughing only at the highest quality of jokes⁣. As soon as she turned 6 months though, it’s like someone turned on a switch and turned her into a clown. She’s laughing at everything with the most hilarious laugh I’ve ever heard and causes trouble with Wilder while in their cribs. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Like her brothers, her new favorite skill is rolling. If anyone is going to crawl though, it will be her. She’s non stop kicking those legs and attempting army crawls to reach for toys. You can’t put her down for a second without her immediately rolling and trying to make her escape. When she’s on the move, we are doomed. She’s so curious about everything!

Wilder 🍂

Known for his contagious belly laughs, he’s the happiest baby ever! He’s started imitating our movements, like head bobbing, and even holding his own bottle at times (poorly). His random shrieking never fails to make me laugh, but I often wonder if I’m raising a pterodactyl or human 😂⁣⁣

His new favorite things are rolling over on to his belly and pooping at dinner time. Despite his ability to roll, he doesn’t like putting himself back to his back and rather mom do it instead 🙄 He is finally being cloth diapered full time since finding an overnight solution that doesn’t wake him up!
