6 Months (and Change)

The 6 months mark passed while we were out of town in Ithaca, but the check-up was on Monday. So, the statistics are 24 pounds, 27.5 inches long, and 45.5 cm (head diameter). That's 97th %, 90-95th %, and 95-97th%, respectively. Yes, he is big. We also have one more tooth for a total of two on the bottom, with another one about to come out on top.

He is also becoming like a big kid. He sits. He rattles toys. He coos and laughs and even cries like a big kid. The best thing happened tonight. He used to scream and fuss whenever he was forced to read a book along with his sister. Tonight, I read him Goodnight Moon. He was completely absorbed by the pictures and listened to my voice as I read the words. He still had to taste it in the end, but I still call that progress. My baby is growing up.
