Sunday, June 6 was William's Half Birthday! I can't believe he is already 6 months old. I can't imagine my life without him! He's such a good baby and sweet spirit. We are so blessed to have him!
We had his 6 month checkup on Monday, and the numbers are in...
Weight: 13 pounds, 5 ounces < 3%
Length: 25 1/2 inches 20%
Head: 16 1/4 inches 3%
He's basically fallen off the chart for weight. After asking us a lot of questions, the doctor said his gut says his low weight isn't a problem. He said he thinks he probably burns the calories faster than he can get them in because he is such a wiggle worm! He's always on the move! We've also started supplementing with formula this week. So, maybe that will help him start putting on some weight. We're going back in a month for another weigh-in. Even though he doesn't weigh much, the doctor still said he had thunder thighs! Haha - his thighs are definitely his chunkiest feature :)
Developmentally, he is doing great! Here he is putting his foot in his mouth.

And here he is sitting up! He's not doing this regularly. I've actually never seen him do it all on his own, but of course he'll do it for Daddy.
He's been starting to "scoot". It won't be long before he's crawling! Looks like it's time to start baby-proofing! In the beginning of the video I caught him scooting a little, and you also get to hear his fake cough that he does all the time!
At 6 months, William enjoys rolling...everywhere. He likes to chew on his toys, and anything else he can reach. He thinks Layla is hilarious. He's very ticklish...especially his ribs :) I just love to hear him laugh! He's eating lots of things now - peas, apple sauce, squash, prunes. His favorite is probably pears, and his least favorite is peaches, but he seems to like them more and more with each try. He still hates baths, but is really cute in his duckie towel!
Happy 6 Months William! We love you!
