6 Months Old

WOW...I can't believe that Connor has already celebrated his half birthday. These 6 months have been the best 6 months of our lives and we can't wait for the next 6! :)

He had his 6 month checkup this week and everything looks great! :) He now weighs in at 19 pounds 15 ounces (98th percentile) and is 28 inches long (95th percentile). We have a big boy on our hands who has legs that should help him out on the football field someday.

He is now able to eat Stage 2 foods (including the meats...and, any suggestions on how to get them to eat those meats would be greatly appreciated...he dislikes them very much at this point) and is pretty much sitting up on his own. We still put the boppy behind him (he gets lazy sometimes) but he should be sitting fully on his own any day now.

I run the Indianapolis Mini Marathon on Saturday and then we leave for Orlando on Sunday (vacation with Pat's parents, Ryan, Jeni and Cole - plus we will be meeting up with my parents at Disney one day). I will post pictures from both events when we get back!

Sorry...no tips on the meats. Our Ped told us that we didn't have to do meats (she thinks they are yucky; consequently, so do I.), so we have never even tried. Our little one subsists on Fruits, Veggies, Yogurt and Cereal!

Thanks for the tip. I am pretty much hearing from most that they don't even mess with the baby food meats. Poor Connor that even made him try them! :)
