6 month check up

liam had his 6 mo. pediatrician appt. this past friday. he is 17lbs 13 oz and 26 inches long. he was 25%ile for height and 50%ile for weight. he seems to fluctuate between 25/30%ile then back up to 50%ile on height. so my guess is that at his next appt he will be back up at 50%ile. he seems to be doing very well overall. the dr. said his head shaking trick is just that - something he figured out he could do. my guess is that it makes him a little dizzy, and he likes that. he handled his shots like a pro again - crying until he realized the nurse was a pretty girl. :)

after that, we made a trip to grandpa ken's office where liam had quite a bit of attention. we also went shopping at the dreaded babies r us and got the baby gates for the house. bill installed them on saturday. i put in all the annoying electrical outlet covers. (bill says he hates safety, mr. fireman that he is.)

liam has also moved onto stage 2 foods, which includes meat. bill is happy that liam is a carnivore now (he's never gotten over lincoln loving canned pumpkin.)

everyone check out our agency website. the blog entry for this past week was about a comment i made to our social worker. she summarized my feelings well.

Wow, that is great, I am so glad Liam is doing well and growing. He weights almost as much as the girls, at their 18th month check up they were healthy, caught up, and were in the 19 lb weight range, still itty bitties.
