6 month appointment!

Reece had his 6 month appointment yesterday, and all I can say is that my baby is perfectly normal! He weighed 17lbs 12 oz, he was 26.5 ounces long. He was exactly 50% in height, weight, and head circumference! The doctor said he's perfect!
BUT...he does have another ear infection. We had no clue that he even had one. Even the sitter was surprised, he showed no signs of one - no ear pulling, no fussiness, nothing.
I'm also a little sad to say that I am not officially done nursing him. Things REALLY slowed down over Christmas break - he is eating more solids and I don't think I was eating enough. He's adjusted well to strictly formula though, so that makes me happy!
He sits up totally on his own, but is not quite ready to crawl yet. He can get his knees under himself, but he puts his hands like under his belly - he looks like a break dancer, I need to try and take a picture of it.
Shots were crappy again. The nurse was really slow at giving them, so he screamed more than normal...and then threw up on me! His new medicine for his ear infection is really strong and I think it hurts his tummy since he also threw up on the sitter today! Hopefully things get better. Thankfully, he's still in pretty good spirits!

6 month pictures!

Our neighbor Tom took some pictures of Reece last weekend! Reece sat up by himself through all of these pictures! Tom took over 100 pictures, but I'll just post my favorite 5. Enjoy!






He is just so sweet and expressive these days! And...he's been sleeping better this week - I really think he needed his routine back. Now that I'm waking him at 6 each morning, he's taking 2 naps during the day at the sitters and is only waking up once at night, around 1 or 2am! I'll take it!

video??

Hooray! I can upload videos! This is one of Reece and I hanging out the other day. You'll notice that he's very vocal these days!

bad mom?

Am I a bad mom because I just used the bottle brush to clean my wine glass??

just a few more!

As you can see, he sits up pretty well on his own now! Our neighbor, Tom, took some fantastic pictures of Reece today! We cannot wait to see them.

Not much new going on. He turns 6 months tomorrow, I cannot believe it! We have survived his first ear infecton and are now in the midst of teething....there's no sleep going on in our house! But, we woudn't change things if we could! Time has gone so quickly and he has changed so much. Each day, we love him more and more! His 6 month doctor appointment is on the 12th!

At one point I actually thought I'd have time to send out Christmas cards this year! Ha ha....who was I kidding??!! Below were the prospects!

This one wasn't really a choice, but it's just cute! He LOVES his feet!

This one is probably my favorite!

new pictures....finally!

Again, they're out of order, but oh well! Here he is enjoying his first cup experience! He didn't really like drinking from it.

5 months old and full of smiles!!!!!!

Sound asleep in the carseat!

"these peas are yummy, more please!"
