SIX MONTHS OLD!!


It seems like just yesterday that Dixon was born. Yet, it was just yesterday that he turned 6 months old. He is growing up before our eyes way too fast. Rolling over from his tummy to his back and back and forth, sitting up on his own, talking a mile a minute some days, and sticking anything and everything in his mouth that he can get his two hands on. He has to put those two teeth of his to use for something, doesn't he?

Yesterday we fed him his first taste of rice baby cereal, which though he loved the idea of holding a spoon, he didn't seem to care so much for the taste. We captured it on video and soon we will post it for your viewing pleasure.

Today, we took him in for his 6 month well baby check up. He passed as usual with flying colors. He weighs 18lbs 8 ounces and is 26.75 inches tall, which would be the 75th percentile and 65/70th percentile respectfully. He received his second round of the DTaP shot and so far seems to be handling it just fine. He didn't even cry when the nurse poked him with the needle. We will be getting his shots spaced a week apart this time, just to help him not have the 106 degree temperature like he did a couple of months ago with his first round of immunization shots.
