6 Months Old

Benjamin has been 6 months old now for a couple of weeks, so it seems fitting that I go ahead and write this post!

At 6 months old Benjamin weighed in at 19lbs, 14oz and was 27.5 inches long (this puts him in the 75th-90th percentile for both height and weight).  His head circumference was 45 cm (again 75th-90th percentile).  Daddy took Ben to his docotor's vist and I am pretty sure he got 2 shots and an oral vaccine.  From the report I got, he took them like a champ!

Benjamin has grown out of his 6-9 month sleepers and his time his in his 6-9 month cloths is limited.  He is already several of his 12 month outfits.

 Benji still loves to eat!  He eats 3 tablespoons of oatmeal in the morning and 3 tablespoons of oatmeal plus a fruit or veggie for dinner.  He has tried all of the first foods and seems to like pears the best.  He gets 4 bottles a day.  For the most part they are 7-8 ounce bottles, with the exception of only 4 ounces with his breakfast.  Ben still has a toothless grin!

Benjamin is such a happy baby!  He loves to be in his bouncer or entertainer and will start to bounce higher if you tell him to jump-a-jump or bouncie-bounce.  He also likes to play on the floor with his favorite toys -- a spatula, a clacker or his links.  He recently has started to play with Luke's ABC school bus and he loves that, too!

Benjamin, you are a special boy and we love you VERY much!
