Yesterday Rooney turned 6 months old. Of course the time has gone so quickly but Roonster has grown and changed so much, that sometimes, it feels like he should be older. He is starting to be able to sit and play with many of the toys he received at Christmas. I have really been waiting for this time. It is nice that he can play somewhat independently with his cool toys. He still falls plenty but I have created a padded play square for him on the floor. He is pretty safe in there & I can just dump a bunch of toys on the floor for him. Other than taking up the whole living room, it works pretty well.Today Roonmeister and Daddy got to hang out together. I was filming a Vacuware infomercial this afternoon.
Mike was supposed to be working, but when I left he was acting as a jungle gym, so I'm sure Rooney was able to squeeze in some playtime. Tomorrow is Rooney's 6mo. MD appt. I am excited about this because I can find out exactly how big this kid is. I swear he is as tall as a 1 year old. I can almost predict Rooney will be one of these kids that everyone mistakes for being a 5 year old when he's 2. Everyone will look at me in shock when they see him and he can't tie his shoes and his speech is still short sentences. They'll ask if he has started school & I'll have to say not for 3 more years. Confused, they'll give me a blank look and then be forced into the awkward position of asking if he has a learning disability? I'll have to say "No, he's just tall". They can figure out what that means on their own.
As a bonus for King Kong we are going to an Infant Massage class on Thursday- or is it just a massage for your infant? Either way, if I was Rooney, I would be very excited! Maybe we can learn some tricks for getting him to sleep right away.
Lastly, Rooney has been a little under the weather this weekend. I'm not really sure if he has a cold or if he's just teething. He doesn't have a temp. & seems to feel OK other than he's been sleeping alot. His nose is very snotty which I believe is causing him to have a cough. Friday was kind of a rough night, but we elevated one end of his mattress a little more and have been aspirating. He seems to be getting better. Just in case, we did not go to Baby Fun at the local library. We'll post Gigantor's stats soon & look for me on an infomercial soon. Unfortunately, I didn't catch when it was coming out.

Let's look on the bright side - quite possibly he'll be able to tie his shoes and speak in compound sentences at the age of 2! And a little more encouragement... oftentimes when little ones are sleeping more it's because they're going through a growing spurt.Pretty soon he'll be able to wear your Dr. Martens, Susie. Woohoo! I still want the blue suede ones.
