Six Month Checkup

Dear Owen,
Today was your six month checkup with Doctor Davis. He was pleased as punch with your development and over all health. Your weight is a whooping 17lbs 11oz. Your length is now 25.75 inches which moves you up to the 25th percentile. You have grown over four inches since the last time we visited him. No wonder we are moving through your clothes with the speed of light! I am sure that no one will be shocked to learn that your head is the 70th percentile. You have one big noggin my son. Doctor Davis gave us the green light to start introducing some more solid foods. He wants you to start eating them twice a day and slowly begin phasing out the bottle. He also told us that we should begin to introduce the sippy cup once you are fully confident in sitting up by yourself. I think we will begin to see a lot of changes in your "movement" in the next few months. You have started to reach for objects set in front of you and can almost sit up on your own. You kind of "swim" when you are on your tummy and yesterday you turned yourself around in your crib. I was kind of shocked when I came in and found you on your laying on your side facing the other direction. You also had three shots and a oral vaccine today. I thought you would be very upset about, but you didn't even shed a tear. I think it was just more of a shock than anything. All in all, things couldn't be better and you won't have shots when we go back for your nine month checkup.
I love you,
Mom
