6 Months!

Yesterday was Logan's 6 month birthday!!!!! I cannot believe how much time has just FLOWN by!! I feel like just yesterday he was 2 weeks old and I thought it would be forever until he was 6 months old and now the day has come and gone.

Yesterday we started out the morning eating breakfast. Afterwards I thought I'd check his gums for teeth (as I've been doing a lot lately since he's been drooling a lot and a little fussy on some nights) and low and behold....THERE WAS A TOOTH!!! I was so excited I actually shed a tear! It is on the bottom right side (left if you are looking at him). It just broke through, so while I tried to take a picture, I was unsuccessful (I will try again with John's assistance). It'll be so cute to see him with a tooth.

Today he had his 6 month pictures taken - they all turned out so cute. He smiled perfectly for every picture...what a ham! It was difficult to choose, but I somehow managed. The photography studio asked me to sign a model release form for one of the pictures because they liked it so much. He was in a diaper on his stomach with a blanket (that my Nana knitted) over his head so he is peeking out - it is very cute.

Today he also had his 6 month checkup. Here are his stats:

19 pounds 2 ounces (75th percentile)
29 inches (off the charts)
head: 17.25 inches (50th percentile)

My little boy is so growing so big....ah, I can't take it. I look at him in his crib and he is just so long! I was surprised that he didn't double his weight by 6 months (which would be 20 pounds), however 19.2 is pretty close!

He did get 2 shots the first of which he didn't feel a thing; the second of which he cried for about 8 seconds. What a trooper!

They asked all the developmental questions - can he pick things up in a clawing motion off the floor - Yes; can he pass things from hand to hand - Yes; can he sit with support - Yes, he can sit without support! The doctor was impressed! She also said that we could start Logan on a sippy cup...so we will give that a try tomorrow!

I know he has so much growing yet to do....but, I feel like he's done so much already. I still look at him and say "I can't believe he's our baby!". It still just feels so surreal to have him in our lives. We love him so much!
