Six Months

Yesterday we celebrated Kai's half birthday!  His doctor's appointment wasn't until today.  Kai tipped the scale at 17lbs 3oz and is 26 inches long.  This puts Kai at the 25th percentile for height and just under the 50th percentile weight.  He got more vaccines: 1 oral and 4 in his legs (one was a flu shot).  Tyson and I both agreed that his reaction to the shots is becoming much quicker.  His screaming and crying has always been a little delayed, but today he jumped as soon as they stuck in the first two needles and immediately starting screaming!  However, I think he calmed down much quicker than in the past as well.

At six months Kai is:
-wearing size 2 diapers
-transitioning into 6-9 or 9 month clothes (a lot of 3-6 month outfits still fit but they are all for summer)
-eating 6oz every 4ish hours (we just started sending 6oz bottles to daycare last week so we are still figuring out how long he can go between feedings)
-eating oatmeal and sweet potatoes (only twice now)
-sitting up unsupported
-somewhat rolling from back to tummy twice but I was the only one to witness it and he hasn't done it again (I think Tyson thinks I made it up!)
-still waking up at night (he was sleeping better at 3 months I think)




Other things about Kai at six months:
-still loves the Jumperoo and is now actually jumping
-loves when we play Peek-a-Boo (it usually always makes him laugh or squeal)
-has been babbling "dadadadadadadada" and lots of other 'words' but I'm not counting that as a first word yet :)
-still chewing on EVERYTHING (we've started giving him frozen teething rings)
This picture melts my heart! He looks so cute and grown up!
Waiting at the doctor's office today

"Okay, shots are over. Let's go home."

Sleepy boy after those shots!
