6 Months

Happy 1/2 year birthday James!

6 months old. Time continues to tick by so quickly. You had your 6 month check up last Monday and here are your stats:
Height: 26.5 (45%)
Weight: 16 lbs (21%)
Head 16.8 in (31%)

You had been pretty sick the week before your appointment with an ear infection (yes, that makes 3 so far) and a croupy cough. So unfortunately, with all that coughing you had a pretty sore throat and had not been eating great, hence your very little weight gain from last month.  Dr. Terry isn't worried and said you should pick right back up soon.  You have met all your developmental milestones and surpassed many! You are rolling over both ways, scooting on your tummy to get around, sitting up (pretty much without assistance) and eating solid foods. You are really doing great with solids, eating oatmeal cereal, peas and prunes so far once a day.  You are not a regular "poo"er so the prunes are your insurance plan ;)

You are mommy's WONDERFUL sleeper! Once we got you out of that swaddle and you flipped yourself onto your tummy, you've been sleeping from 7-6:30 every night! You are still eating every 3-4 hours (7,10,1,4,7) depending on your naps and napping at home at 9, 1 & 3ish for 1-2 hrs. You don't nap as much at daycare...too much going on :) You still love a paci to sleep with as well as your monkey friend, whom you love and get very excited when you see it in your crib. So sweet ;)

You continue to babble, but no real words yet. You love your jump-a-roo, taking baths, going to the dog park with Charlie, and taking walks in the Baby Bjorn.  You will ride in the Bob Stroller, but only for a little while. You much prefer being able to move around. You have so much energy and are constantly on the go. I can only imagine my fatigue once you are mobile...Lord help me!

You are such a fun and lovable little boy and of course....adorable! Your wild temper, infectious smile, and sweetness make you YOU! I love you so much. Happy 6 months James.

What...I didn't pull Charlie's hair?!
