6 Month Update

We had Jack's 6 month well-child check-up yesterday morning, and he is doing great! Here are the stats:

Weight: 15 lbs., 11 oz. (25th percentile)

Height: 26 1/2 inches (50th percentile)

Head Circumference: 17 1/3 inches (50th percentile)

So since his 4 month check-up, he has remained in the same weight percentile with steady growth of 1 lb. 10 oz. His height has gone down to average from the 75th percentile last time with a 1 inch growth. His head has gotten over an inch bigger. He was in the 30th percentile, and now he is in the 50th percentile. He's meeting all of the developmental milestones as he should be, so we're happy to have a healthy, growing boy. Here's Jack the morning of his appointment blissfully ignorant he was a short time away from shots.

Jack has been getting some practice with his beginner sippy cup. The pediatrician recommended equal parts water and apple juice for some #2 issues Jack has been having, so I decided it was a good time to let him give the sippy cup a try.
I also removed the arches from his plamat since he's not super interested in being on his back. Now he uses the playmat to commando crawl around in circles or inch forward to attempt to catch Izzy as well as to practice his sitting up skills.

Jack doesn't really pay too much attention to the tv when it's on, but he has found a strong interest in Spongebob Squarepants. It's on early in the morning when we first get up. Here he is watching it while I get my coffee.

This is a little bit of a belated update, but we decided to build a Crossfit gym in our garage. Jonathan and I used to be members of a Crossfit gym back the Denver area, but it is just way too expensive for memberships here in California. It's nice to have it in our garage, because we don't have to worry about our commute time, and it's easier for me to workout when Jonathan's away at work.
Here's Jack watching us warm-up for one of our workouts.

We still have a few more things we need to make it a complete gym, but it is working out really well for us so far.

I can't believe that Jack will be 6 months old tomorrow. The time has flown by so quickly! We have Jack's newborn pictures hanging all over our living room walls, and it feels like just yesterday we were in the hospital with our new 7 lb., 14 oz. baby. We're just trying to soak in every moment and new milestone, because it won't be long he's trying to crawl/run away from us instead of letting us cradle him.
