6 months

We figured 6 months was a formal affair (thanks to our tux onsie from Uncle Kris and Aunt Wendy's visit to the House of Blues).

We had our 6 month check up yesterday and he's doing great. He weighs 17.6lbs (49%) and is 26 1/4 inches long (45%). He does everything developmentally the Dr. was expecting (sitting up, strong legs for "standing", rolling over, etc...) He's been loving his food. I had questioned the Dr. because he's drinking almost half as much as he used to but the Dr. thinks its a good thing. They want the babies to get nutrients from food because when they're done with breast milk (or formula) and move to cow's milk, the cow's milk has no nutrients so babies who were used to filling up on milk instead of food have a harder time adjusting and may not get all the nutrients they need. (You learn something new every day). He's had peas, sweet potatoes and carrots and still eats his oatmeal every day (mixed with an increasing amount of prunes). We still haven't gotten that nap schedule down, but he sleeps so well at night I really can't complain! He likes to sit up and play now which is nice. He LOVES to be outside. We've had a few warm days but can't wait for more. He'll watch cars outside and follow them until they're out of sight.

Here he is in his new ride...

On a random note, I just want to apologize to anyone I've ignored this week, its been so crazy. Over the weekend a pipe burst in our office and there was some flooding. Not too much was ruined but we ended up having to move and lets just say all didn't go so well, basically just total chaos. I think by Monday we'll be ok but, although I really do like my job and the people I work with, it just didn't bring out the best in everyone and I really only need to deal with one baby at a time! Randomly Nate's work computer hasn't been working so well either but its made for a pretty easy day today and hopefully will be back up soon so he won't have to go into the office.

Happy Easter everyone!
