6 Months Old

Today Theo had his six month doctor's appointment.

That's right. It's been half a year since he was born.

Weight: 17 pounds 6 ounces (47%)

Height: 26 3/4 in. (56%)

He was declared healthy with no concerns. In fact, he is now big enough to have his ears checked for a predisposition to ear infections. Although he really didn't like being pinned and looked at, the doctor got a good look and says everything looks great.

About Theo: 

He loves rolling everywhere these days. Yesterday while I went for groceries Theo and Jay played a rolling off the ottoman game (supervised onto cushions). He also went swimming for the first time ever with mommy yesterday with a friend from the ward. Theo really liked splashing and wiggling in the water.

He is still a happy guy who loves new experiences and big crowds. 

His sleep has gotten better since the misery that was Apr. 3-14, but is not consistent. Although I put him down on his back, he likes to roll onto his stomach and sometimes even push his face against the mesh side of the play yard. It's really funny and it is clear he takes after me.

 He is getting closer to crawling, sometimes even doing a push up as he tries to wriggle himself around. 

He is working on eating solids. Sometimes he swallows a lot of the rice cereal and carrots and other times, like last night, he lets the food sit on his tongue and just plays with the spoon. But the important part is that he is learning about food and eating.
