That's right, the little man is 6 months old already!! It's pretty crazy when you think of it as half a year. He's doing very well... last night for the first time ever he really, truly slept through the night!! 9pm-8am! I was pretty amazed. Let's hope it wasn't a fluke!
We went to the doctor yesterday for his checkup. Here are his stats:
Height: 25.5 inches (5th percentile)
Weight: 14 lbs 3 oz (5th percentile)
So we're doing much better! I canceled the appointments with the nutritionist and GI specialist after checking with the doc. Oh, and his head circumference is in the 75th percentile... ha! He needs room for all those brains ;) He did great with his shots as usual- cried during of course, but calmed down right away and was fine all day. I'm working on switching over to the next size up in his clothes... he's finally in 3-6 month size. Haha. Also ready to move up to size 2 diapers as soon as we use up what we have in 1's.
I'm officially done nursing. My supply just quit. Oh well- at least I don't have to stress out about it anymore, and hey, 6 months isn't bad at all! Orion doesn't care, of course. He's eating all kinds of fruits and veggies, and I want to up him to two meals of solids a day pretty soon.
He's able to sit up on his own for a couple minutes (like in the picture above!) and with a little more practice I'm sure he'll really get the hang of it. He's been pretty happy lately and did well on vacation. We have some more travel coming up so I'm thankful he's mostly good in the car!
And now some videos for your viewing pleasure...
Now that's a cute boy.

O my word. lol.. he looks too cute it that firt picture! lol.. I just wanna pick him up! :) Glad he's doing good on the weight! Even cancelled the appt.. that's good... wouldn't want him to be poked and prodded when he doesn't really have to... :) Ben has missed him at church...:( They've had to "buzz" me each Sunday, and Weds. sincy you've been gone! Seriously! I thought it was his teeth, but, maybe it's because he missed Orion! :) Ben goes next Friday for his 6 month appt... we'll see his stats (that was cute) :) He's sitting up too.. he's been sitting up for about 2 weeks now.. I bet Orion is almost fully there too :) He's a cutie!
So cute!! I'm oohing and ahhing in front of the monitor! Big brains, tiny body. Something tells me his body will catch up one of these days! 6 months of nursing is excellent! It's the first couple that are the most important anyway!
The laughing video is hilarious! The Johnny Jump up one doesn't play.
wow, 6 months! the first picture is super cute.
one of our friends' baby just had her 9 month appointment and she is at 25% for height and weight... and 100% for head circumference!
Orion and Ben's laugh sound exactly the same! How funny! Maybe it's just the natural laugh sound a baby makes :) He is a cutie! Ya, I can't get the last one to play either...Hope Ben is as happy as Orion is in the car when we go away too! :) Whoever's hand that was.. can they come with us? :) and entertain?!
You fixed the video and it was worth the wait! So cute! Your brother always love that toy as well! "Jump jump!"
