6 Months

Triptyn had his 6 month well check today. He also had to get shots, I just hate that! He has done pretty well in the past, but today....not so much. It all started when he saw the pediatrician. He's already getting to that stage where he doesn't like people he doesn't know, so let's just say he wasn't very good during the whole visit.

* He weighs 15 lbs. 14 oz. (20th percentile)
* He is 26 1/2 in. long (50th percentile)
* Head circumference is 43.5 cm (40th percentile)

I can't believe how fast time has gone. The doctor gave me the go ahead on baby food, juices, cereal, etc. He also said Triptyn should be sleeping through the night, which he's not. So I asked if he had any suggestions. He said to just let him cry it out. :( So that's what I'll be doing for the next few nights. Wish me luck! On a happier note, here's a look at Triptyn -- 6 months old:

* Sitting up
* Jabbering ALL the time!
* Grabbing for EVERYTHING
* Putting everything he grabs in his mouth
* Eats cereal once a day
* Nurses or has a bottle every 3 1/2 to 4 hours
* Smiles and laughs all the time (especially at Daddy)
* Has only rolled over once...but we're working on that
* Hates being on his tummy
* Is a little momma's boy :)

That's about all I can think of right now. He's so much fun and we love having him as part of our family! Last Friday he also had his 6 month pictures taken! So far I love them! Caralee does an amazing job.

Oh if that's not the most adorable picture!
And by the way...pediatricians think they know everything...My kids both didn't sleep through the night till they were about a year. But the thing is, once they were ready, they just slept. No making them cry it out etc. Although, if it works, then GREAT...several more months of sleep for you! Good luck with it:)

Cute, Cute, Cute! Logan hated his stomach too and wasn't ever too interested in rolling over. Now he sleeps on his tummy though so who knows!?! We let Logan cry it out and it was SOOO hard (I cried too) and SOOO worth it! Hang in there and you will be grateful you did.
