Half a year old....

My baby has turned half a year old! 6 months as of yesterday the 22nd...how do I reward him; well with a trip to the doctor of course! LOL! TJ came along for the first time; he is wiping the drewl (sp) off of Jack in that one picture. Anyway; he is 18 pounds 13 ounces and is 26 inches long. I always forget to ask what precentile that puts him in but the doctor said he looks great and is growing awesome! He got three shots and some oral vacination. He has to go within the next week to have his blood tested. The doc said they test at this age for anemia and now they also test for lead so that will be another poke for the little man. He handles it well; cries when he is given the shots but is done by the time we hit the "check out" window. He can sit unassisted; roll over both ways and is doing the backwards crawl now but working on going in a forwards motion so it won't be long now! He eats GREAT! LOL! Stage 2 and 3 baby foods; we also give him snacks like biter bisquits and that toast stuff. This weekend he had "real" banana and I chopped up some elbows into tiny little pieces; he pretty much just played with those but ate some. He can drink from his sippy cup but I just give him water in it for now; he still gets bottles which he pretty much holds on his own about 90% of the time. He is growing up quick! He thinks anything TJ does is so funny!
