6 Months

Our little boy is half a year old. He's getting so big. He had his 6 month check up last Tuesday and he weighed 16 lbs 15.5 oz (43rd percentile) and was 27 1/8 long (76th percentile). He met all the 6th month milestones and the doctor said he was doing really well. 

Owen got his first tooth. We didn't even realize he was teething until I noticed on Saturday morning that it looked like he had a tooth almost popping through. By Monday, September 30, his bottom front tooth had popped through. He's now working on his second bottom tooth. Owen is sitting up by himself solidly for a few minutes at a time. He enjoys oatmeal cereal, but isn't sold quite yet on avocado or sweet potato. He slept 9.5 hours two nights in a row this past month, but other than that he's still waking 2 sometimes 3 times a night, usually around 11:00 p.m. & 4:30 a.m. and sometimes 1:00 a.m. or 2:30 a.m. He's a pretty easy going baby. He enjoys rolling around on the ground and watching kids play. His newest thing is to try to sit up. He will lift his head and legs and will do a crunch in an attempt to sit up. He's such a joy.

In other news, Owen officially has his first cold, poor little guy. He has a cough, is congested and is sneezing. Hopefully he'll feel better soon.
