6 month stats

Today we went to Eddie's 6 month appointment with the yet again, wonderful Dr. Phillips. Here are Eddie's recent stats and milestones....

*18lbs, 11oz, 27 inches long

*Says "ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma" over and over again - mainly when he is crying. He will also say "mi, mi, mi, mi" when he wants milk. He hasn't signed eat or milk, although I still do it each time.

*Rolls regularly from belly to back and will go back to side (how he sleeps) and will scooch (or inchworm, as the pedi said) when on his tummy. Basically he pushed his legs around until he moves the littlest bit. He tries :)

*Will do "stand up" and "sit down" alllll day long (while I'm holding his hands)

*Will hold either side of my face and "give kiss" when I ask...most of the time

*Holds his own bottle and will start a sippy cup soon

*Has eaten - banana, apples, pear, butternut squash, carrot and we're doing zucchini and spinach this week

*Prefers to be sitting up instead of laying down, even on his tummy

*Loves petting the dogs, especially Saddie. He has also learned that we don't pet Fiona, because she will run away, but he loves to watch her. When he was sick, the only things that made him happy was watching the animals.

Overall, Dr. Phillips is impressed with Eddie's development and thinks he may even be ahead. My little over achiever :)

This man, my big man, LOVES his jumperoo. Even more than before, I promise. Now that he can reach out to things, every time we walk by he reaches for it. The good (or mean, depending on who you ask) mommy in me only lets him in for 10 minutes at a time, only twice a day and even then, only a couple days a week. And let me tell you, he makes the most out of those 10 minutes. That man is CRAZY. He screams the whole time he is in it, you have never heard more joy from a little person.
