Just for Fun

I thought you all would like a recent photo - this one's from a couple of weeks ago. He didn't seem to mind the burp cloth on his head!

6 months

We took Eli to his 6 mo checkup yesterday and learned all's well without surprise. He's 17 lbs 8 oz (50th percentile) and 27 in (75th percentile). The pediatrician was again amazed at his incredibly round head. At two months, the pediatrician told us he had a "perfectly round head, and you just don't see that anymore" with infants sleeping on their backs for the past 20 years. Of course, a few days later, Eli started developing a flat spot! So we'll see if his head continues rounding out or if it pancakes. Whatever the case, we are grateful for such a healthy and happy little boy!

Here's a recent photo of this kid, at 6 months.

 

I'm going to be reducing the frequency and quantity of blog posts. For you regular readers, you know I blog in binges. Now that school started a few weeks ago, my time is becoming even more precious. We'll just choose the best photos and videos to blog from now on.

First Tooth

After feeling a bump over the weekend, we felt the"tines" of Eli's first tooth coming through yesterday! It's on his lower right side. He seems to be acting normally. I wonder if his first cold/fever (last week) were related. I read that people attribute almost anything to teething. Thoughts? We have not noticed him to be in pain in the last week. He was a little fussy and clingy while he was sick. He's also been waking up earlier for his night feeding (1:30am) and then up for the day just before 6am, which is a tad earlier than we'd like.
