On the 13th, our baby boy, Jack Thomas, turned six months old! Ok, I know it's not like he had his first birthday or anything, but we just can't believe how fast that happened. Every day is a little more exciting than the last. He has been rolling over from back to front a lot (though hasn't quite mastered front to back). While this is great, he seems especially prone to spitting up when he rolls over after a meal. He's also kicking his legs a lot either when on his tummy or when being held with his legs free. About a month ago, he was babbling quite a bit. That slowed down when he started rolling over, but it has started to pick up again. He's doing some baby pushups while on his tummy and grabbing for toys a lot.
We started him on rice cereal a few weeks ago. We haven't been giving him much, only about an ounce of milk and a tablespoon of cereal, but he has been doing pretty good with it. He just had his six month appointment with the doctor. He's around the 50th percentile in both height and weight (which is a slight decrease from the last few appointments) at 16 lbs 12 oz and 26.5" long. We also got the all clear to start in on some baby food.
I don't know exactly how many pictures and videos we've taken of him, but a rough estimate puts the picture count at approximately 3500. That averages almost 20 pictures a day since he was born. That's not too many, right?! If you know me, you know I love taking and having pictures! Here are a few from when we had both sets of Grandparents and Great Grandma Lu over on Tuesday for a mini celebration.
