6 Months

So I have now given up on keeping Jake from growing up, but can it just not happen so fast?! He is now closer to being a one year old than he is to being a newborn. I can't believe he has been here for half a year already.

Short post today because I am exhausted. Jake was running a fever last night and did not sleep well (or much) so Josh and I took turns being awake and holding him all night. He is doing much better today though. No fever and much more himself. We were supposed to have his 6 month well check but due to a mix up at the doctors office we didn't, we rescheduled for next week. But we did get his height and weight today.

6 month stats:

Weight: 19lbs    76th percentile
Height: 27 in      71st percentile

So his weight percentile dropped from the 86th and his height went up from 68%. 

New things for 6 months:

• Literally rolling every where, we can't keep him still and he can rotate so he can go anywhere he wants
• Sitting independently
• Can support himself standing when holding on to something (although not for very long and not really steady)
• Still working on getting up on his hands and knees
• Getting his knees up and lunging forward (with his face in the carpet)
• Eating cereal
• Grabbing and eating his feet
• Blowing raspberries (this just started a few days ago, you know just in time for him to start cereal)
