Asher is 6 months old already . . . I can't believe it has been six months since we brought home this little bundle of joy! He is 16.6 pounds, measures 26.5 inches, and his head measures 18.25 inches . . . which puts him between 75-90% in all categories. He has two teeth, enjoys rice cereal, loves to suck and chew on all things, he is rolling around and moving a lot more, he grabs at toys or hands or faces that are in reach. He takes a morning nap and an afternoon nap and if either of those don't go so well, he take a short evening nap. He is usually in bed around 8 and sleeps until 8 or 9 am. (With his recent cold/cough he has been up at night, but that seems to be passing, too)

He sleeps 12 hours at night? Straight through? I'm lucky if I get 7 hours...did he do this naturally, or did you let him cry it out???
Usually straight through . . . every once in awhile he needs his pipe. We loosely follow Babywise and the pattern of sleep-eat-wake, along with closer feedings in the evenings, and flipping onto the tummy around 8-10 weeks has 'taught' all 3 of ours to sleep through the night around 2 months. Ironically, Asher has been on his back with this cold and is sleeping just as good, so when his snotty snorting ends I'm not sure what he'll prefer.
He has cried it out months ago when he would sleep longer stretches then I would 'require' him to sleep that length before feeding at night.
Sleep is a wonderful thing and I am so thankful for our good sleepers :) Hope J will sleep longer for you!!
