6 (ish) Month Doctor's Appointment and Stats

So we were a tad bit late taking Liam for his 6 month doctor appointment and I definitely heard about it from Dr. Reznick. I like the old man, but he is stuck in his methods and sometimes I am not sure I agree with everything he says or recommends. But he works for now. Anyone in the Phoenix Metro area have any suggestions on great pediatricians? Anyway, on to my cutie patootie.

6 (ish) Months:
Length/Height- 26 1/2, 30th percentile (please don't be short like mama)
Head: 17 3/4, 75th percentile (lots of brains)
Weight: 18 lbs 12.8 oz., 50th percentile (definitely NOT what I expected)
Size 3 diapers
3-6 & 6-9 months clothing
Size 2-3 shoes, depending

Liam had four vaccinations done today. He finished the series of Rotavirus, and had IPV, TB, and Hep B. He actually wasn't too upset today, but he had a looonnnnggg nap in the afternoon. That was nice for mommy because I had a terrible headache, so I got some rest too.

**What Liam is doing**

Sitting unassisted for long periods of time

Rolling over from stomach to back and vice versa like a pro

Scooting like his diaper is on fire

Growing two teeth

Eating pretty much all 1st stage solids and some snacks

Supporting more weight on legs while being held

Trying to pull himself up on things

"Talking" a lot, no words yet

"Blowing raspberries" like crazy

Smiling and laughing all the time (especially when tickled or played with)

Extends arms to be picked up

Loves playing with his toys in the bathtub

Probably a bunch more, but I can't think of any more right now hehe

I shot a couple of pictures at the doctor's office today. He is so gorgeous!

Happy Blogging!

4 Months So Far

4 Months Stats:
Length/Height-25 1/2, its sorta hard to read, but I think that's what it says
Head-17
Weight-18 lbs. 2 oz.!!

Four months already!! Man time is flying!! The doctor recommended we start introducing Liam to some juice, but he can't stand it! It's hard enough for me to get him to eat breastmilk from a bottle, let alone juice. I even tried adding the handles so he can control it himself, but he hates it. I am also beating myself up over Liam's weight. He is such a big boy! The doctor says I shouldn't worry right now, but he's growing out of clothes so quickly and I really don't want him to have a weight problem.

**What Liam is Doing**
He is now picking up toys from the table or floor, or grabbing them from your hand. I always have to wear my hair up now because he grabs that also! He can "stand" really well now too, he loves standing in mama's lap to talk. He has gotten much strong when he sits, he can hold himself for about 10 seconds, then he topples over, but soon he will have it! He also has discovered his feet. He loves pulling off his socks and grabbing his feet. Everyday he is learning something new, and I can't keep up with him!

My feet, mama!
