Will is 6 Months Old!

Here is a picture of our sweet baby boy when he was born. It is so hard to believe he is already half a year old! When he was born, he weighed 7 lbs, 13 oz and was 20.5 inches long. He now is 20 lbs, 9 oz and 28.5 inches long! In six months he gained 12 lbs and 12 oz, and grew 8 inches. At today's Doctor Appointment, he dropped to the 93 percentile for weight and gained 2 percentile in height to be 97%. He is definitely a big boy. The nurses love his chubby legs to give shots. Today he only had two shots plus a fluid he had to drink. He was so smiley before his shots and fully expected to receive a second dose of shots after the first two, but I think he was pleasantly surprised that it was over after one round. He started to fuss, but then he picked him up, and he was smiling within 30 seconds. The two nurses told him he should milk us for more sympathy, but he is always so good at that for the few days following his appointment.

This is Will tonight. He is always smiling and so happy. He is getting to have a regular bedtime and sleeping through the nights (with about 1-2 nightly reapplications of his pacifier). He now gets to try some rice cereal in his diet, which I am sure he'll love. He is ticklish in about five different places, and still absolutely LOVES playing "Where's Will" with Daddy.
