Crazy In Love

How did John get to be a half a year old already?  Time is flying!

At his check-up yesterday we found out that he’s as healthy as can be.  He’s 28.5″ tall (97th percentile, still), 44″ head (95th? I think), and only 18 lbs, 2 oz.  I was surprised that he didn’t weigh more because (1) he feels heavier, and (2) he’s wearing mostly 12 month clothes and 18 month rompers but not really shocking because if pressed, he could still squeeze into a 3-6 month t-shirt because he’s long and slim.  As the doctor said, “not a bad body type to have.”  I’m glad that he’s starting to level out and I  know all his enthusiastic jumping and activity in the Exersaucer, Johnny Jump-Up, and on the floor are helping him burn up those calories.

He loves eating his solid foods!  His favorites are apples and bananas but he hasn’t refused to eat anything, even ate broccoli (begrudgingly as it may have been).  For now we are still just doing one meal of solids, occasionally a 2nd, but plan to integrate the 2nd as a regular occurrence any day now.

The monster is waking from his slumber so I had better get to his room before he starts calling for me.  :o)
