Well I was waiting to do this post until we got Grey's professional pics done....but we had to put them off so I will post those when they are done!
So here is the lil munchkin at 6 months big! At his check up, the doctor said he was looking great. He weighed in at 17 pounds, 3 ounces which is at the 45th percentile. He was 27.5 inches long, which is in the 75th percentile. And his head circumference was in the 50th percentile. He is definitely NOT taking after his brother who always is in the 90 percentiles.
The doctor also told me he SHOULD be sleeping through the night...so no more shenanigans and after a few nights letting him recover from the shots, I didn't answer his early morning calls for food...and voila, a couple nights later he was sleeping straight through from 7:30-8 pm until 7 am. I am so thankful to finally have full nights sleep after 6 1/2 months!!!! I didn't have to let him "cry it out" it was more of a whine and whimper and when he realized I wasn't coming....he drifted back to sleep.
He is still not sitting up by himself...he sort of teeters and then falls on his side. He hates food almost as much as I hate feeding it to him :) No, he is really getting better, but he is not a chowhound by any means and spits out his food more than he swallows...and the doctor attributes that to his dairy intolerance...which he still has. He wants to grab anything and everything and put it in his mouth. I guess that is pretty typical. He can move himself around on his tummy to reach difference toys...but no crawling yet. Thank goodness! :) He still has his little curly q hair line which I couldn't help but take a picture of...as someday it will be gone from view, covered with hair!
Here are a few pics of my little photo shoot with him....
