6-Month Check-Up

I'm a half-year old! My appointment with Dr. Frank went really well (except for the shots!). My head is 16.5(30%), I weigh 16lb 15oz (75%), and I'm 27 inches long (90%). Maybe my measurements weren't that wrong at my 4-month after all!



Another new development: my hair is finally too long and heavy to stand up on its own.
Here come hair accessories!

The doctor seemed a little surprised that I already have two teeth and I'm already sitting up straight and creeping. He said my motor skills are a little advanced and warned Mommy that it's time to start baby-proofing because I'm going to get more and more mobile every day. I got the green light to start pureed meats and egg yolk, so I'm hoping Daddy will cook me some soon.


No, not more Pees ... more PEAS!

The last "prescriptions" he gave Mommy was to go out on a date with Daddy, warned her that I'm going to get separation anxiety (we didn't have the heart to tell him I already do a little), and to take a look at a couple of chapters in Dr. Ferber's book. She asked him a question, but I wasn't sure I understood. Who's going to cry what out, Mommy? You can't mean me!


Mmm ... love the bisquit

I swear there was some more left in there, but how do I get to it?

Yesterday was a very special day because it was the Opening Ceremonies of the XXIX Olympics, and this year it's in Beijing! I got to stay up with Mommy and Daddy to watch some of the ceremonies. I liked the drums and costumes.


Another one of my new things: forced laughing.
Am I laughing for you? Or AT you? Hmmm ...

Last weekend, we celebrated Jacob's first birthday with a big banquet. I can't believe he's one already! It seems like just yesterday that I was in Mommy's tummy and Jacob was born. Actually, the day that Jacob was born was the day that Mommy told Auntie Diana she was having me! Daddy says I have to stay away from him because he's twice my age. :)



What an awesome outfit. Happy Birthday, Jacob!


Mommy, is he smelling my head?

Of course, Mommy created my August photo album so that she can start saving pictures out there. Plus, she's planning on adding long overdue videos, so check back soon!
