6 Month Checkup

Landon had his 6 month checkup today. He weighed in at exactly 19 lbs and measures 28.5", he's in the 50% for his weight and 90% for his height. Our doctor (Dr. Gibson) said that he is a long skinny boy just like his big brother. Dr. Gibson also said that he's above average for his motor and social skills and couldn't believe that he had two teeth already. We got the go ahead to start stage 2 foods. I'm really looking forward to this, I'm very bored with the stage 1 foods:) I can guarantee that Landon will be excited because he loves to eat! I am having a hard time with the green beans and peas. He was really never fond of the green beans, but now he's being picky about the peas.

Landon's milestones:
• has two bottom teeth
• army crawls
– he can get to anything he wants and gets faster everyday.
• when rolling from back to side he can bend himself into sitting position
• is very happy in the mornings
• sleeps all night and takes a 3-4 hour nap; usually from 12-3
• vocalizes pleasure & displeasure
– grunts, growls, coos, gurgles, giggles
• very wary of strangers
• knows his name when heard
• wants to eat what we are eating
• pats at mirror image
• balances head well
• Uses fingers to grasp objects
• imitates sounds
• pushes away undesired objects
