I'm 6 months old

Today was my 6 month check and I was a very good boy, at least that is what mommy said. I told Zoe I would be a brave boy and I did the very best that I could. I didn't cry too much, but I had to voice my opinion some how. I've done a good job growing, all that eating has done me good. I'm now 17 pounds and 4 ounces, a whole 2 pounds and 5 ounces in the past two months. Woohoo. And I'm 26-1/2" long, a whole 1-1/2" longer. I can't wait until they say how tall I am and not how long I am. And my head is a whopping 17-3/4", the doctor called me a genius because I'm in the 87 percentile for my head circumference. It is 3/4" larger. Of course all of this growth happened in 2 months time. The doctor said that I could start eating food that I could gnaw and gum once I can pick stuff up with my fingers in the pincer grasp and I can do that. I can even get my suc-suc into my mouth all by myself. Granted sometimes I don't get the squishy part in but I'm happy. The suc-suc is the pacifier to those of you who don't know. You know I suc-suc on it. It is a fun name. I got 3 shots and an oral vaccine. The nurse was impressed that I just drank the vaccine down. It was in my mouth and well I eat pretty much anything so why wouldn't I drink that also. I didn't cry right away with the first shot, I waited a brief moment and then let everyone know. I did however stop crying on my own. Oh I also cried at the doctor, it gave him the opportunity to look down my throat and listen to my lungs really good. He said I sounded good, just loud.

So tonight I get to look forward to eating some of those banana teething biscuits that mommy got for me. I finally get to eat at the same time that everyone else is eating.

My next appointment is at 9 months in August and I don't get any shots that time. Woohoo. I'll just have to cry extra loud at the doctor that time to get all of my opinions heard.
