Happy Half Birthday

Last week Eric turned 6 months. Today we had his 6 month well-baby check up. Here is how our big guy is growing:

Weight: 17 lbs 8 oz--46th percentile (everyone thinks he's fat because he has big cheeks but as you can see, he is average)
Height: 27 1/4 inches--75th percentile
Head Circum.: 17 inches--65th percentile

Eric is a fun little boy. He is growing so fast. He just got his first tooth last week and we are waiting for the one next to it to come in. He is just about to discover crawling. He is getting on his knees and also his toes and rocking. He was so close this morning but fell when he moved his arm.

Eric also is loving real food. We've now tried peas, green beans, squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, pears, and banana/strawberry. He tried pancakes the other morning and seemed to think those were weird (maybe because it was more solid than the food he's used to).

Eric still loves to roll and turn in circles. He is still a jumper and a talker. We love our little boy. Happy Half Birthday, little boy!

It is so fun to hear about your little boy since the boy that I watching is the same age. LJ doesn't really like to roll though, he is really good at scotting backwards though. Next month I am getting a new baby girl! I am excited though it will be interesting with TWO babies.

I can't believe he is 6 months already! They grow entirely too fast in my opinion and I don't even have any of my own yet. It must be so fun for you to see him go through all the little changes. He really is an adorable kid.
