I actually forgot to post this... twice. I had it all typed up but needed to get some pictures of the camera, so I saved it, and forgot about it. Sorry. Stinkin internet has been on and off so that has something to do with it. It only works when it feels like it. I'm waiting for the time warner man as I type this. Hopefully he'll be able to fix it and my blogging will be back on schedule soon. Truth is, the internet excuse is only part of the reason I'm so behind. Anyway, here's the post and only 3 weeks late.
Oops, forgot to post these from E's appointment last week. So he now weighs 16 pounds 12 ounces, which is just under the 50th percentile, and he is 27 inches long, which is the 50th-75th percentile. He went down in his height percentile, and slightly down in his weight percentile. Doc said it's okay though and pretty typical since he's started moving around a lot more and is eating solids, which have less calories that formula. We were a little nervous because his eating habits pretty much suck. He had been fighting us a lot during bottle feedings, but just a few days ago we got faster flowing nipples so he's been eating a lot better.
Other 6 month things Ethan's up to:
He loves to laugh. H's ticklish under his neck, on his belly, his feet, and his thighs. He especially like it if you kiss these areas. Giggle machine I tell ya. He also still likes "doo doo" and scolding Avery and to be scared/surprised. All make him laugh. Oh, and Crazy Uncle Don's faces, he must be really funny looking.
Ethan still likes his walker, jumperoo, and exersaucer. He can get around a little too well in his walker. Some examples of what he's been getting into:
The night light had to be moved
Key table was knocked over.
He likes to follow me into the kitchen
Just a cute droolly picture.
"Oooh, camera, that could fit in my mouth"
Remember how I said I may be kicking myself for getting the walker? Yeah, that's happened a little. But since it entertains him for hours, I can put up with it.
Because he likes his standing up toys so much, he doesn't get a lot of blanket time, but he is starting to scoot around a little, mostly in circles. He can pull on up his knees and his arms, just not at the same time. Not too worried about that, we don't need a crawler quite yet. He's still a roly-poly though, and keeping him on a blanket and off the hard floors can be a challenge.
Ethan's also still interested in the tv, and the remote, and cell phones. Loves them all, and wants to put the latter two in his mouth. I've been using the remote and cell phone as bait when he's on his belly. Why I do this I have no clue. Didn't I just say we don't want a crawler yet??
Okay, and other things I want to remember: he's wearing his 6-9 month clothes, but mostly because those are the only warm ones he has. He can still fit into his 3-6 as long as you're okay with pants being more like capris. He's sleeping very well, usually from 8:30pm to 8:30am. He usually always gets up around 8-8:30, so if he gets to bed late, he gets a little less sleep. Oh, and he loves his duckie tub. He likes it when we pour water over his hands or onto his belly. Bathtime is a fun time.
That's all I can think of now. Hope it wasn't too boring for you.
I think I should at least get bonus points for putting him in a cute hat.
