Sam's 6 Month Appointment

Sam had is 6 month appointment a few days ago, on the 15th.  Well, as we already knew he is not a small boy...

Weight: 21.3 lb (96%)
Length: 28.19 in (95%)
Head Circumference: 18 in (93%)

Dr. Gustin said he is a very healthy little guy.  She said there is just something about him that just make you smile.  I agree, first of all because he is so dang cute and second he is just a happy little guy and loves to socialize with everyone.  He got 5 vaccines that day, one oral and 4 shots.  I don't think he felt very well the day after he got all the shots.  He was just not his easy, happy self.

What is Sam doing at 6 months...  Well, yesterday he rolled over for the first time.  He rolled from his back to his stomach trying to get Abby's sandwich.  He loves his big sister.  When ever she is around he love to watch her and he loves when she talks and plays with him.  As of right now he is sleeping through the night.  While we were in Florida he was eating 5, 8oz bottles everyday, but ever since we got home, he has slowed down a lot.  Now he is just eating 5, 4-5 oz bottles.  We don't know what is up with that.  It has been a long time since he only drank that much.  Ever since his appt. last Thursday I have been trying to feed him more solid, but he is not a huge fan unless it is fruit (not peaches) or carrots.  He has become very opinionated about what food her will eat now.  I am not quite sure what to do.  Abby never had problems with.  She ate everything, but peas and carrots.  He does want to eat anything we are eating.  If we are eating food he knows he should be eating too.  He will watch every bite you take and will kind of squeal at you.  He likes to drink out of cups and from a straw.  He thinks he is a big boy.  He likes to hang out in the saucer now.  Thank goodness.  He likes to watch TV, and play with his toys.  He is getting better at sitting, but still not quite there.  I still loves to be held, but we can't hold him for very long because he is so big.  He is such a smiley guy.  He is super ticklish.  We all love to tickle him.  He is such a sweet baby just so happy!  We love him so much.  I can't believe it has been six months.
