Our little baby is growing up! Michael turned 6 months old on Sunday. It is hard to believe that 6 months has passed. We went to our 6 month check up today. He is 20 lbs. and 8 ozs. and 28 inches long (90th percentile for both). He got another round of vaccinations. Fortunately we don't have to get anymore vaccinations until his 12 month appointment.
He's had a lot of adventures this month. His diet now includes rice cereal, oatmeal, and breast milk! However, it will soon be expanding to include vegetables and fruits. He went hiking at McConnell's Mill Park. He enjoyed it; however, he wasn't very happy with us since we almost choked him as we had the sternum strap a little to high on his chest. He also went to his first block party outside the womb (he was inside the womb last year). It was a good time, but it was a little cold. He went to a fall festival at an orchard where he was not allowed to drink the apple cider or eat the apples or delicious apple pie (with black raspberries). Grandma and Grandpa Platte came to visit him. It took him awhile to warm up to them since he is suffering from stranger anxiety at the moment. But once he realized they were not leaving or taking him away he warmed up to them (although Mommy continues to be his favorite). We all went to a farm to partake in some more fall activities to celebrate his 6 month birthday.
He is still not rolling over; however, he does sit up very well. The pediatrician said that bigger babies are sometimes slower to do these things since they have so much weight to lug around! He is still grabbing everything and it still ends up in his mouth. He probably won't be able to ever eat his toes since his belly gets in the way! Next month will bring a new adventure as we are flying to Florida for Thanksgiving - his first plane ride! There are new pictures in the link at the bottom of the blog.
