6 Months!!!

Happy Half Birthday to our little Cedric! Can you believe 6 months have gone by?

Here are the stats from his appointment on Friday:

Weight: 18 lbs 6 oz - 68th %

Length: 28 in - 95th %

Head Circ: 46 cm - 99th % 

As you can see, he didn't gain much weight and what he did gain all went to his head, literally. The doctor isn't worried about his slowed weight gain. "Long and lean" she said and that next to me it looks completely normal. She did say that we need to start feeding him food on a more regular basis as he will need more calories. He is kinda eating bananas and I mixed in some oatmeal cereal today for the iron. Baby needs to eat some food. We had a small mess one day with some apple baby food. I can't turn my back on this babe for even a minute!

Here he is enjoying some banana. It helps to use different kinds of spoons. 

Cedric is a great little sitter. He can keep his balance when he wants but most of the time he wants to lunge forward. He is working toward crawling. He will raise his little bum in the air, reach, roll, scoot, turn, and move backward in his attempts to crawl. Then he gets frustrated and upset and needs a hug. The doctor thinks he'll be crawling soon, so the baby proofing is starting early!

Above is a good photo of him working on his crawling. He is much happier on his stomach now than he ever was - he has even taken to sleeping on his belly!

As you can see from the two photos above, Cedric also really likes to stick his tongue out. He likes to try and copy us when we make silly faces. 

Cedric is also getting very curious about his surroundings. The other day he was very into the Playstation controller. Bob set the controller down and Cedric did a very good job of moving the joystick around. 

Here is a cute photo of Cedric getting ready to go out. He is just so cute! He is dealing well with the cold, I guess he doesn't know any better!

I can't believe how long and short the past 6th months have been. I am no longer considered a "New Mom" but now a bonafide Mom. Funny how much can change in a mere 6 months!
