Six Months, A Tooth, and Some Rolling.
SIX MONTHS OLD!!!!!!! (Well next week he'll be six months exactly but he had his checkup today so, who's really counting?)
I didn't think the day would come when I'd say this but Drew has become a most pleasant and fun baby!!!!!! He has a very contageous laugh and a smile to melt your heart! Most importantly, he's outgrown the collicky inconsolable screaming! THANK GOODNESS!!!! Mommy is now sane again! He still has his moments, but these days they're not often and almost always because he's over-tired.
From his six-month check up we're happy to report that he remains painfully average both in height and weight. 50th percentile in both. His head, contrasting from his brother's gigantic noggin, is just the tenth percentile. You'd never know he has a small head though - since those cheeks are SOOOO fat. They're great to kiss - you just have to!
MILESTONE ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On Sunday we found his VERY FIRST TOOTH poking out! He's been drooling for a month now so, we weren't all that suprised. And to add to the excitement, he performed his VERY FIRST ROLL OVER yesterday morning. He rolled from his belly to his back - odd - most babies probably go back to belly first. Oh, well. So, our little guy is growing up! He also will be starting baby food soon. He's been eating rice cerereal most days at dinner time and recently tried apple sauce. Much to his dislike, though - he's just not a fan of food yet. He's a bottle man. So, wish us luck as we explore other baby foods. He's also not sitting up yet so we have to feed him while he sits in his car seat since he can't sit in his high chair yet.
