Six Month Check Up

I took Alex this evening for his 6 month check up. I was looking forward to seeing how much he weighed, but totally dreading the shots. Breaks my heart to hear him scream like that.

We get into the room and the nurse comes in. She had bright colorful clothes on and was talking to him in this funny high pitched voice which he loved. Alex is quite the little charmer now. He will give you these big smiles and gets this certain look with his eyes. Of course he turned on his little charm tonight. He has us both laughing. Nurse even said what a little ham he is.

She weighed him and measured him. He is 14 pounds 15 ounces and about 26 inches long. Doctor came in and said he's still in the 10th percentile for weight and 25th percentile for height. Said he's perfectly healthy, but to go ahead and increase his baby food and move him onto the next stage of baby food. So another new step we get to take!!!! :)

First Haircut!

I took Alex to get his first haircut on Saturday! His hair had gotten so long. It was over his ears! Too long for a little boy.

He did great! Since he's quite the little wiggle worm I was afraid he would be all over the place and worried he would get cut. He squirmed a little bit, but not too much. I kept him busy by making silly faces which he loved. I just love his new look. So cute!

6 Months Old

Alex is 6 months old today. Wow time is going by so fast! It's hard to believe that just 6 months ago this adorable boy was brought into this world.

He is changing so much. He's very observant. I love to watch the expressions on his face when he has discovered something new. Recently he discovered his feet! He grabs hold of them and rolls from side to side. He hasn't quite rolled over on his own yet, but he's getting close.

One of his latest things is scooting. He has a bald spot on the back of his head from where he has rubbed the hair off from scooting. He uses his head and feet to scoot on his back. It's funny to watch.

I have found his ticklish spots and he has the cutest belly laugh. Oh I just love his smiles. Every evening I can't wait to get off work to go pick him up. If I've had a tough day just one smile from him changes it all!

Monday is his next check up. Excited to see how much he weighs, but poor little guy has to have shots. Will post an update then!
