6 Months Old

This morning we went to see Dr. Clifford for your 6-month check-up.  You got your final Polio, DTP and Hep B vaccines.  Your legs are sore but you did a great job handling the shots. You have had a few crying fits today, but you deserved them! You are 27 1/2 inches long, 21.1 pounds and your head is a little over 17 inches. So you are still pretty, really big, but you are starting to even out. The doc said everything looks great and that you have a really sweet demeanor. I have been thinking about that a lot and it really is true.  For the most part you are pretty laid back, happy and calm (unless you are hungry).  

Here are some fun pictures from Friday.
You loved cousin Ashley reading to you!

Hanging out.
Your favorite thing to do!

All of that fun wore you out! Snuggling together!

Sporting your Mohawk.
Outside getting fresh warm air with daddy.
Chomping on your carrot before we went to see Westen and Olivia!

The fuzzy little hairs on your head result in a new nickname of Birdie. It looks like you have feathers flying on your head. You are starting to try to twirl it when you drink your bottle which is the CUTEST thing ever!
