For the Record

I have to go back and do Jaxon’s 6 month post, for the record, you know.

He turned 6 months old, 2 weeks ago!! I can’t believe.

- weight: 15 lbs. 10 oz. --> 25th Percentile

-height: 24 3/34 in --> 5 -10th Percentile

- has come a long way on eating baby food. He now eats and LIKES, applesauce, bananas, sweet potatoes, prunes, pears. He still chokes down carrots and green beans. But it is better.

- he is in his big boy bed, since 5 months.

- eats once a night, usually around 2:30 or 3. But has been going until 4 or 4:30 a few nights.

- wears 3-6 month clothes

- size 2 diapers

- don't you think we could get a commerical going or something for Pampers.....:)

- still kind of grouchy during the day and evening hours. But is better. Has at least a few happy 20 minute spells in there. But now I think we are getting to the “attachment” phase….

- his hair is not real thick feeling, but there is kind of alot of it. This was right after his bath, and you must comb it down or it will go crazy, like this!!

- has eaten crackers, yogurt melts, cheetos, vanilla wafers, and puffs. Does okay with them, but still have to watch him.

- nurses every 4 hours

- is more animated and hyper than his 3 week older cousin

- not so sure if that is a good thing, you know!!! :)

- when he gets real excited, he throws his arms down like this and looks down real fast

- doesn’t like the car seat

- when you put him on the floor, he can get up on all 4 knees by himself, and rock…. EXCITING!!

- can sit up on the floor for a good 2 or 3 minutes without getting wobbly, sometimes longer.

- likes his bath time, and loves to lean to one side in the seat and splash real hard with his arm, a good way to annoy your sister and get mama all wet

But something is interesting to me with his immunizations this time around, and wondering if any of you had problems like this. We got his immunizations on a Wednesday, by that evening he had a runny nose, and was coughing a little. By Thursday, he had the full fledge, runny nose, cough, was running a fever, and was hoarse. On Friday, the same kind of thing, but really no fever. Then on Saturday, he still had all of this, and was running a pretty high fever and he was so inconsolable, which made me kind of nervous. Then on Sunday, he was fine, still hoarse for a few days, but other than that nothing. I looked up about the immunizations, and it said this could be some side effects. I've never had this happen with Kylee or with his first months.

Poor baby in the bath when he was not feeling good

- but here he is happy
