6 Month Well Baby Exam

Well we had our 6 month doctor visit and it went relatively well. He had done so great at his last two when it came to take his shots wasn't expecting anything different. The nurse kinda laughed and said yeah that happens but usually the 6th month is worse due to increase in their nervous system and other developments. Low and behold it was true. He screamed after the first shot this time and as predicted by the nurse he started crying when she rubbed his leg with the alcohol pad. Poor kid. But fortunately shortly after the last shot he was good to go again! Whoot! What a trooper!

Well here's his latest stats:

• Weight: 18 lbs - 14 oz (75%)
  
• Height: 27 1/2 inches (75-90%)
  
• Head Circumference 44 1/2 (50-75%)
  

6 Months Really??

It's been 6 months, half-a-year, since the little man was born. Man where does the time go?

As noted before he's got his bottom two teeth in. He's sleeping at night really well with just minor setbacks every once in awhile. After how he started what with being a super fussy baby, wouldn't sleep anywhere but in our arms sitting in the rocking chair, we feel lucky to have such a good night sleeper. His daytime naps are still a work in progress some days they go smooth and as scheduled. Other days hmmm... like today for example they go haywire. But overall based on the book I'm reading "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" he and we have done well throughout his short life so far as sleeping goes. Lucky first timers I guess to have guessed right on some things along with some advice here and there.

Another development is he loves to stand now. He's always had really strong legs since the day he came out into the world. Last week we were doing "sit-ups", with him laying down I hold his hands and we sit up together, when I noticed at the end of one he lifted his butt off the ground. So I held my hands a little higher and he pulled himself all the way up. Whoot! What a big boy he's becoming.

On the solid food front we were a little slow and late on starting the cereal. But after some slow going and setbacks, attitude mostly, we've been going well. This last weekend we had our first Veggie, Peas.

Well not much else to report but here are some pictures from today.

We got Teeth!

Was going to post this last week but was waiting to try and get a picture of them.

Anyway, last week the little man's bottom two front teeth broke through the gum. They're still coming through a little more each day. Now we're wondering when the upper two front teeth will come.

Whenever, we do get a picture of the pearly whites we'll get them up as soon as we can.
