Six months old

Weight: 17 lbs 7 oz (51st percentile)
Length: 26 5/8" (60th percentile)
Head: 17 3/8" (62nd percentile)

- 2/22 He went in to the doctor for a cold today and it turns out he has his first ear infection (it's pretty minor, thank goodness). While at the doctor's, he got weighed and weighs in at 17 lbs 4 oz
- 2/25 He had rice cereal for first time today. He didn't hate it :)
- He loves to see balls/balloons thrown. He laughs so hard when his brother and sister are playing basketball or tossing a balloon around
- He had a bath in the sink for the first time and loved it (so much that he splashed water everywhere :)!
- 3/6 He is all over the place now. He hasn't started crawling, and we haven't actually caught him scooting, but we put him in his bed in one position, and when we come back, he's all turned around. Today I laid him on the bed with his feet to me. I got up to shower and when I came back, he was now facing his head toward me. That means he somehow turned all the way around! We have seen him stick his little bum in the air when he's on his belly so we know he'll be on on those knees soon (too soon, if you ask us :).
- 3/10 He got up on his knees for the first time today!
- He has started giving Daddy high-fives
- He has tried rice cereal, peas, and carrots
- He likes to drink water from Mommy and Daddy's cups :)
