I'm 6 months Old!!!

Since I talked to you all last, I have had my 1/2 birthday! yeeeaaaaaaay......I'm 6 months old!!!

According to my specialist, the worst of my Laryngomalacia has passed! Whew! Mommy and Daddy (and I for that matter) are finally starting to get some sleep at night and not worry so much! (Mommy says the worrying will NEVER stop, but atleast it is less now! hehe) I have survived having pneumonia and 2 bad colds (contracted from those germy kids at daycare of course) and according to my 6 month check up, I'm looking "GREAT". I no longer take naps in my swaddle, I can spin around on my belly, and have just recently started to babble....."da da da da da" is my favorite and Daddy just won't stop smiling! Yesterday (5/8/09) I got my "M's" down and was able to babble a little "ma ma ma" also! Mommy and daddy are just SO amazed! Now for the best part, I have graduated to eating 3 meals a day...pears, sweet potatos, squash, and cereal. As a matter of fact, I love them SO much, I have quickly bumped up to being in the 89th percentile for my weight. My Pediatrician says NO BIG DEAL, as I am perfectly proportioned to my 76th percentile height (I take after daddy!) Although I still am a bit top heavy...my head circumference is average (49th percentile)...It just looks more prominant because I don't have any hair! :-) They say the slower it comes in, the thicker it will be later on....sounds good to me! If I had any hair, I would probably hurt myself anyway because I sure LOVE to tug on mommy's! My favorite things these days are reading big picture books, watching Maddi and Kaiser, taking my bath, listening to mommy sing, talking with daddy, and believe it or not-sleeping! I'm getting really good at that! Mommy and daddy are learning that the Friend's cast was right......"NEVER WAKE A SLEEPING BABY!" I am starting to push my belly up off the floor and have been on all fours a couple of times. It won't be long now before I start crawling and mommy and daddy will have to get in shape to keep up with me!

I hope this finds everyone happy and healthy...we sure are!
