6 months!

It's hard to believe Landon is half of a year old already...time sure does fly! It's very bittersweet. Yesterday (Friday, Feb. 19th) was Landon's 6-month Ped's appt. He was in the best mood and touching his toes and smiling the entire time he was laying on the table...it was too cute! Dr. Oliphant is always saying how he's such a handsome boy...Daddy and I think so too! :) The appt. went very well and he's right on for all the developmental things, growing right on pace, and is as healthy as can be (besides all of his cold sickness). Here are his current measurements:

Weight: 17lb. 10oz. = 52%
Height: 26.5” = 52%
HC: 43cm = 28%

Now we won't go back until he's 9 months, although I enjoy going every 2 months and asking all of the questions that I have saved up. The thing is, I google alot of things because I'm curious and love to learn but I need to get better about "not believing everything I read". For instance: I have read the average age for an infant to 'sit up on their own' is 6 months but really the Dr. says it's 6-9 months and usually closer to 9. She thinks it's best not to read all of that stuff, but as most of you know, it's pretty hard...the computer and google are two of my best friends, haha!

Introducing baby food....

Monday, February 15th was Landon's first night to experience baby food. We started with Squash and let me tell ya, he LOVED it! I seriously couldn't shovel it in fast enough and a few times he kind of choked himself with the spoon because he would completely attack it. Jeff and I were definitely cracking up and was able to get a few good pics and video. This is my favorite picture because it confirms that he loved his first taste of Squash! I had fun letting him get 'messy'. :)
