I'm 6 Months Old!

Happy 1/2 Birthday to me! Mommy and daddy can't believe I'm already 6 months old. They keep saying that time has flown by quickly. I dunno what they're talking about; 6 months is an eternity for me.

As part of this milestone birthday, I went to the doctor for my 6 month check-up. She called me wild and strong! Must be because I complete tore up the paper they use to line the exam table. Here're my stats:
  • Weight: 18 lbs 15oz (75th percentile)
  • Height: 27.25 in (75th percentile)
  • Head circumference: 44 cm (50th percentile)
Looks like my growth is slowing down. The doctor says it's because I'm so active. Wonder what's going to happen when I'm crawling and walking!

Things I Like:
  • Watching Tachi and other kids. My teachers at day care all say that I'm very attentive.
  • Sitting upright w/o support
  • Oatmeal and applesauce. I started back on solids a few weeks ago.
  • Bear crawling/lurching: It's not quite crawling, but I'm definitely on my way. Stay tuned for a video!
  • Banging on books, toys and sometimes mommy and daddy's faces
  • Splashing water in the bath tub, which is really more banging on stuff. It cracks me up when I splash so much that I get mommy and daddy all wet too!
  • Riding on daddy's shoulders. It's such a different vantage point this high up!
  • Swings: last weekend, I got to ride in a swing at the park when we met up with Sierra and Logan. I LOVED it!
Things I Don't Like:
  • Rice cereal. To demonstrate my dislike, I'd turn my head and purse my lips so mommy couldn't feed me. I'm warming up to the stuff, but still prefer oatmeal. Mommy hides rice cereal in my oatmeal. She doesn't think I know, but I do.
  • Getting my nose wiped and de-boogerized with the bulb syringe
  • Napping at daycare
To celebrate my 1/2 birthday, we went to my BFF (birthday friend forever) Edison's house for dinner. His mommy made half a cake for us with candles! I was mesmerized by the candles and the fire. Everyone sang Happy Birthday and then our mommies helped us blow out the candles. But Edison and I didn't get to eat any of the cake. What's up with that?!

  2. @Matthew: Thanks! We gotta figure out a way to hide all of the bulb syringes! Maybe we can protest! As for the health hazards of daycare...I keep hearing that it'll help me build a strong immune system for later. Hope they're right!
