6 Months Old

So obviously I'm way behind on my posting, but that's mostly because everyone in our house has been sick off and on for about a month now.  We've had the standard fare: cough, sore throat, runny nose, and now a stomach bug, and we just seem to keep passing it back and forth amongst the four of us.  Good times.

But I wanted to at least put up a quick Ethan update.  I posted it on Facebook already, so it's not really new information.  It's more for myself--it's nice to have everything recorded here with quick links so I can look back (like the other day, when I scrolled through and found Gemma's 6 month stats for comparison).

So, Ethan at 6 months:


Weight: 18 lbs. even - 59th percentile
Height: 27.5 in. - 84th percentile
Head - I don't remember what this was because I was too astonished by the other measurements.  It was only in the 40's though I think.

(At 6 months Gemma was 24.5 inches and not even quite 14 pounds!)  We have no idea where this boy is getting his height from, but it's bound to slack off soon!


He has two brand new teeth and lots of slobber to go with them.  He is eating oatmeal, fruits, and vegetables, and sitting up on his own.  When you lay him down on the floor, he rolls all over the living room.  His favorite thing to do is ride around outside in the little red car that our next door neighbors passed along to us.  


I can't believe he is 6 months old already.  I feel like the time has gone by infinitely faster than Gemma's first 6 months.  Before I know it, my little boy's going to be crawling and then walking!
