6 Months!!

My sweet boy is 6 months old! Well, officially he turned 6 months old on October 10, but he just had his 6 month check up. He's 27 in long (we think that wasn't measured correctly) which was about the 75th percentile and weighed 15lbs even (5th percentile). As you can tell from those stats our boy is long and skinny. He's been having some trouble putting on weight, so we will visit a pediatric GI doctor next week to talk about possible causes. His appointment is with the same doctor Jenna saw when she was diagnosed with reflux. The doctor also thinks that he may have some food allergies/sensitivities, so I've been on a restricted diet while I'm nursing him. 

In spite of not gaining a bunch of weight, Drew is developing well and is a strong boy! He loves to babble (da-da-da), haas 2 teeth, and is scooting! He started getting up on his hand and knees and rocking at about 5 1/2 months, and has now figured out how to pull his knees up under himself and use his upper boy to pounce forward. It might be the cutest thing I've ever seen! 

We started giving Drew solid food right at 6 months old and he loves eating! So far, I've only given him rice cereal and avacado. He's not a fan of avacado, but loves his cereal! I'm hoping to introduce him to some more vegetables and fruit soon. 

As always, Drew is a joy and we are so thankful and blessed that God has allowed him to be part of our family!
