6 Month Update - Long, Lean, Sitting Machine

Wow! It's hard to believe we have a 6 month old! Here are the stats from his appointment today:

Weight: 13lbs 11 oz ............... 5th Percentile
Length: 26.5 inches ............... 60th Percentile
Head: 17 3/4 inches ................ 95th Percentile

So, Jonah is a long, lean dude with a big dome (to house that equally big brain, I'm sure). Doc didn't seem too concerned about his weight and assured me that I had an obviously happy, healthy, growing child. He sleeps from 7:30am - 7pm most nights waking only once for a quick meal. We will be adding in some fruits and veggies soon ..... every calorie counts, right!

Milestones: Jonah can sit up unsupported for a couple of minutes at a time. He is a little roly poly and is quite mobile rolling around. He smiles all the time, loves everyone and laughs at the weirdest things. He is definitely aware of who his parents are and squeals with joy when we pick him up in the afternoons. He can transfer toys back and forth between hands and thinks he knows how to play patty-cake. No teeth yet, but his drooling has increase, so it's coming.

Likes: Bath time with dad. Snuggling. Hanging in the jogging stroller. Drooling. His parents' singing. The camera/cellphone. The Colts. Tags: on blankets, clothes, you name it. Playing Peek-a-Boo. Watching Tilly.

Dislikes: Taking more than a catnap during the day. When you take away a piece of paper he has saturated. Getting out of the bath. Waiting for food. Not much makes this guy mad!

He never fails to laugh when you:
Yell "Go Colts or Da Bears" or Tell him: "Pshhh Whatever" - don't ask!
He must have his father's unique, dry sense of humor!

We are so looking forward to the next 6 months of his first year!
