Check Up

Happy Friday everyone! We have lots of news to pass on. Escher had his 6 month well baby check up on Wednesday. It actually is more like a 6 3/4 months checkup, but who's counting :-) Here are his latest stats:

Weight: 19.5 lbs (75th percentile)
Height: almost 30 inches (100th perc)
Head Circumference: 19 inches (100th perc)

He is just soooo tall for his age! We are having problems finding footie jammies that fit, his 12 month ones are just about too short, but the 18 months are just huge all over! It makes me a little sad that I'm already buying 12 month + clothes. At Target he is considered a big kid now, they don't have the cute infant clothes in 12 mos! The dr said that he is right on track developmentally. Escher even showed off by flirting with her, and telling her all the new sounds he makes, such as baba, dada, mama, etc. He wanted to check EVERYTHING out, like her stethascope and the instrument that they use to check eyes and ears. He took his shots like a champ. We felt really bad though; his top teeth are working through, he has had a wretched cold, and then he got his vaccines on top of all of that! He is still coughing and really stuffy, but we hope that goes away in the next few days! We are going to work on getting more green vegetables into him, so I'm going to make him some green beans and maybe peas this weekend. Matt and I were talking this morning, and even though he is sick and its harder for him to sleep, he is still really handling it all very well. He plays so hard! Its like he wakes up in the morning ready to play and explore. I noticed yesterday that is starting to scoot backwards a little bit, which is preemtive to crawling. We need to get to baby proofing!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! We are hoping for some snow tomorrow. I'm going to join the rest of Virginia Beach at the grocery store today, gotta stock up just in case we are snowed in, haha!!!
