Sully at 6 months


Sully and his Poppa on his half birthday

Nicknames: Sullybug, Bug, Little Man, Chunky Monkey

Foods he's tried: bananas, apple, applesauce, sweet potato, english peas, butter beans, cooked squash, refried beans, grapes, yogurt, egg yolk

Favorite song: Itsy Bitsy Spider- he can be really upset and crying but if I sing Itsy Bitsy he will calm down. He loves the hand motions too.  One night he was particularly upset and fighting sleep so I set my phone to flashlight mode and did shadow shapes with Itsy Bitsy.  He loved it.  Watched me sing and motion the song for at least 20 minutes.

Favorite activities: Jumping and playing in his Jumparoo, sitting on the porch and listening to nature, playing in the water either at bath time or in his kiddie pool, standing with someone holding his hands, drinking momma's milk

Least favorite activities: getting out of the bath, having to change clothes, getting strapped into his carseat then not moving.
