Our big boy at 6 months

Julian turned 6 months on December 21st. He had his 6 month check up last week. He is 20 lbs 8 oz (87th percentile) and 28 inches (88th percentile). The Dr. did her regular question asking about his development. She asked if he was rolling over (yes, since 2 months old), asked about sleeping and eating habits, etc. I was also anxious to bring him in because he has had a cold for over 2 months off and on. However, the Dr. looked at his ears and listened to his chest and all was clear. Other than his colds, he has been a healthy boy.
Baby J.J. is :

-sleeping 11 hours at night, and has been since he was 2 months old
-eating cereal and fruits and vegetables and loves them all!
-very close to crawling. He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth
-smiling all the time, he has the biggest smile EVER! he loves people and loves to be held or played with.
- a mama's boy! If he sees me walk by, he will whine or cry for me to pick him up. I think it's the cutest thing but can be a little annoying :)
-sitting in the bath like a big boy, no more baby tub. He is sitting up so well, and has been for over a month and a half.
-Likes to pick up his toys and lift them over his head or throw them. The boy in him really shines through!
-does a lot of vocal play
-loves his sister so much. If she is next to him, he is staring at her and smiling.
-does NOT SIT STILL! he is very active


I've said it before, Julian has made our family complete. Almost every night when Eric gets home, we go in to the playroom as a family and sit on the floor together. This part of the day is my favorite, as we can all be together and just play. Julian has made our family life just that much better :)
