Jack is 6 months old!!

Jack had his 6 month check up today. He weighed in at 15 lbs and measured the same length...yah, someone mis-measured last time:( Darn it, we thought he may get that surprise height gene! His head, of course grew also - 17 1/8 inches. We have got to stop telling him how cute he is...poor guy doesn't have a chance. He has already out grown 3 of his hats! Doc said he is lookin good. Jack was pretty busy talking and smiling at the nurse and doctor - so much that he did not realize what came next...shots. He definitely cried more today - all the way down the hall until we got into another room where I could nurse him. Then he passed out while I shopped for some little people food for him. I just finished cooking up his first batch of sweet potatoes and carrots. Who would have thought that 2 big sweet potatoes would make so much baby food - it filled the blender. Lots to freeze and store! We'll mix the potatoes with his cereal for the next 4 days then we'll try the carrots out. He loves to eat off a spoon. The only problem is is that you can spoon fast enough - he's huffin to let you know he wants more and more fast. Too bad his weight doesn't show how much he eats and how much he likes to eat. He is a little below average but I have a feeling that as soon as we start food he'll start to get some meat on his bones:)
At home, Jack is loving his bouncy seat, jumper and little walking chair (for lack of a better name). He is sitting up...well for a little while until he crashes when he's reaching for something that he usually ends up pushing farther away - poor guy! He has done the "army" crawl in his crib a few times but I can't seem to get him to do it on the floor? there is something about getting to one of those corners in his crib to sleep. Suppose it's cozier! I should rap it up - he is just so much fun at this stage - I could keep writing, writing and writing... We'll check in again soon!

P.S We celebrated Jack's half birthday yesterday with ice cream and french fries. Too bad the birthday boy passed out in the middle of the celebration:(
