6 1/2 Months old!

So due to the screw up back in Texas with Junior's shots, we just had Junior's six month appointment this week.

His Stats:
Height: 26 10/2inches long
Weight: 19lbs 1.4oz long
Head Circ: 17 in

Dr. K had seen Jr about a month ago - for a rattle in his lungs I heard. I was assured that it was congestion due to teething. At that point Dr. K called Junior a Moose... with out any prompting! This week when we where in the office he was just amazed with him. He says that Junior not only looks like a nine month old - but ACTS like one! He is incredibly socially aware (something Dr. K said is a really good thing especially at this age) and follows everyone around the room not just me. His weight gain is good considering he's been on solids since he was three months old, and Dr. K said if he wants it, and it is not a choking hazard (obviously) to go ahead and let him have it. (so far he's had - outside of baby food- lasagna that went through a blender, a big strip of chicken that he's knawed the heck out of, breadsticks at Olive Garden and Round Table Pizza as well as pizza crust from the latter). Over all we have a perfect baby (ha ha ha!)! He also said that Junior's top two teeth are very close to popping through and any day we should start feeling them poking through. (He already has his 2 bottom teeth - they came in with in a week/ week & a half of each other).

Grandma J has given Junior a new nickname... "Mr. Pissy Pants" (edited for web content lol) and if you had lived with him this week - you would have agreed!

Junior is all caught up on his shots and no reactions thus far! (Thank goodness!) And unfortunately it didn't make him sleep any better! :( Although yesterday (the day after) he took two good long naps in the car while Grandma J and I where running errands, which included a trip to the mall.

OH YES, for you members of Sam's club.... do not give a teething baby a churro from here... lol he fell asleep in his carseat on the way home sucking on it! It was incredibly too cute and unfortunately because I was driving I didn't get a picture of it (and no he was not in danger of choking - as soon as he fell asleep, Grandma J took it away).
