Well, the day has finally come. James has turned 1/2 year old. And it was quite an eventful day. First stop: the pediatrician's office, where James weighed in at 15 1/2 lbs, and 28 inches long. He's quite the string bean, as the nurse proclaimed. But the doctor told me not to worry, that he is in a perfectly normal weight range. He also told me that James not rolling over yet is fine. Since he is 'lunging' forward from his tummy, he is making progress and soon he'll be crawling around like everyone else on his own time. So, that was a relief.
After his shots (thank goodness, no screaming fits), James promptly fell asleep in his carrier. Later this evening, we cooked up some pureed carrots and gave James his first solid meal outside of cereal!
And his reaction? Gimme Gimme!!!!! He all but screamed it. This kid can't get enough of anything we put in his mouth. So...no funny face, or strange expressions. He just opened his mouth wide like "what are you waiting for? Give me that orange stuff!!!" And promptly made a mess all over the place :-)
Good job, James! You're such a big boy now at 6 months!! :) We love you little man!
