Hard to believe that it's been 6 months (and 2 days) since my birthday! I've grown so much in that time. I was born at 6 lbs 7 oz and 19.25 inches am now 14 lbs 15 oz and 25.5 inches. My head measurement is a little smaller than expected, so we'll keep an eye on that, but since I'm on track developmentally with most things, it shouldn't be a problem. I'm sitting up by myself now and get so excited that I end up toppling over. I play a fun game with mom and dad and sit on their bed and bang my hands on the comforter, then laugh hysterically when they do the same. Maybe they'll get me a drum set one day :)
I'm doing well with most of my foods, but carrots and sweet potatoes don't really agree with me. I had bananas today and LOVED them. Mom tells me that I have to get an x-ray of my hips tomorrow - she assures me it won't hurt and will be quicker than the ultrasounds were. I got my shots today and didn't even cry for the first one - I was too distracted by trying to chew on mom's thumb. But then they gave me the second one and I screamed VERY loudly. I don't have to go back until I'm 9 months old and I don't get any shots then - just a few finger pricks to test for lead and iron levels. Mom had to switch my vitamins today too because now that I'm 6 months old, I don't get as much iron as I need from breastmilk, so I have to take an iron fortified vitamin. Most kids have a hard time with the vitamins, but I gobble them right up.
Good night everyone - it's past my bed time!
