Six Months Old!


(so this isn't the best pic, but it was the most current one I had!)

Current Stats:
Weight: 17 lbs 9 oz (60th percentile)
Length: 28 inches (>90th percentile)
Head: 43 cm (50th percentile)

I cannot believe that my baby is already half a year old! These last six months have flown by! Jackson had his six month doctor appointment today and he is still doing great! His weight curve dropped a little, but everything else was in the same percentile. He had to have four shots today and hasn't seemed to be feeling too great this afternoon. Poor baby- I hate watching them give him shots. It really is the worst! But, other than that he did great and his doc says he looks good and healthy. So here are a few Jackson facts at six months old:

*He has two bottom teeth
*He can sit up independently
*He rolls to get to where he wants to go
*He loves to eat his baby food, especially carrots, sweet potatoes, and pears
*He talks a lot more lately. He says mama, although I realize he doesn't know what he is saying :)
*He laughs a lot and thinks that Alex and I are pretty funny
*He blows raspberries quite frequently and particularly while eating
*He likes to take baths in the big tub and splashes and laughs
*He is very curious and is always looking and grabbing at everything
*Most anything he gets a hold of goes straight for the mouth
*He loves when we sing silly songs to him. If he is grumpy we can usually calm him down by singing to him.

Well, I can't think of anything else at the moment. We just love this little boy to pieces and are loving watching him grow up!

Your mom told me he is her baby (the size). She wasn't kidding. He weighs more than Easton did at 1 year. He is absolutely adorable, and I am excited to hold him in a week or so.

Wow! Jackson and I have a couple things in common: We both think you are pretty funny, and most anything I get a hold of goes straight for the mouth too (unfortunatly)! What a fun age! He is pretty tall, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised at that. Can't wait to work with you next Friday so you can fill my in on life and your trip. Toodles!
