Sleeping:
He's pretty good about taking naps. If he wakes up in the middle of a nap, he's not very good at putting himself back asleep.
Most of the time, he is really good at sleeping through the night. There are just a few exceptions (aka Daylight Savings). He'll wake up anywhere between 4-5 and want to eat. I'll feed him, hold him for a few more minutes, and then he'll sleep for a couple more hours.
Still working on getting Aidan and Kimball on the same bedtime schedule so that they can go to sleep at the same time in the same room. It's amazing when it works.

| One of the few times he's slept in his crib. He rolls over easier in his crib, which means he just cries and cries because he can't roll himself back over. He's good being in his crib once he's asleep, but has a hard time falling asleep in the crib. |
 |
| Which is why he's back to sleeping in the bassinet. :) |
Eating:
Still consistently eats 6oz every 3.5-4 hours. His first solid food was rice cereal and his second was green beans. He's a fan of both, especially the green beans, which really surprised me.
Clothes:
Now wearing 6-9 month clothes and still in 9 month pajamas. Barely.
Chunker:
I've heard so many times that he is a big kid. And he is! We love him so much! He has cute, cute thunder thighs and roly-poly arms. He's getting harder to carry for long intervals, which makes me sad because I love carrying him. He has cheeks, but a narrower face than Aidan.
I was telling Jayze just last night that it's almost weird that Kimball is such a solid baby because his personality seems the opposite. Kimball is a chill, laid back baby. He's not screaming for food every two hours, but he seems to get enough food when he does eat and is content. Maybe we're raising a linebacker.
Textures:
Kimball is my texture baby. He loves playing with boxes, baskets, strings on pillows and jackets, the wipes package, plastic links, blankets, bibs, and stuffed animals. He also loves chewing on any and all of those things.
He is sporting three teeth with at least another one on its way. He has two on the bottom and one on the top. He looks like an adorable little jack-o-lantern. Right now his cheeks are rosy red and warm and his gums are swollen. Poor baby. We're hoping those other teeth cut through soon.
Personality:
Kimball is such a sweet, happy baby. We don't even have to do anything to make him smile, and he still smiles. He loves watching Dad, Mom, and Aidan, especially Aidan. I can't wait until he can really play cars and trucks and kick around a soccer ball with Aidan.

| Already wanting to drive. |
Right now he loves to:
- Grab and eat his toes
- Fold himself in half
- Roll over onto his tummy
- Sit on Mommy's lap
- Touch Aidan's hair and head when Aidan actually gets in close range of him
- Be tickled
- Play peek-a-boo
- Socialize
- Stand on Mommy's lap
- Be held
- Chase Aidan while bouncing on Mommy's hip
Hates:
- Being left on his tummy (still hasn't figured out how to roll onto his back)
- Sitting in his bouncer for too long
- Watching Mommy work out
- Getting too tired
- Sleeping in a non-moving car seat
- Shopping too long at the grocery store
- ...that's pretty much it
I can't believe Kimball is already 6 months old. Where is the time going? I'm excited for all the milestones he still has yet to reach, but I just want him to be my baby a little bit longer. Sigh.
He has brought so much joy and love to our home and family, and I am so grateful he's here.
