6 Month Appointment

Today I had my 6 month appointment with Dr. Wilcox. This is the breakdown of my height, weight, and head circumference.

Height- 26 inches. I'm in the 62.56 percentile for length.
Weight- 19.25 pounds. I'm in the 95.83 percentile for weight.
Head Circumference- 16.75 inches. I'm in the 54.58 percentile for head circumference.

I had the following immunizations: DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis), Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), Polio, Rotovirus, and Pneumococcal. The Rotovirus immunization was given to me through my mouth. The other immunizations were shots. The last time I went for shots they came in and stabbed me with two needles at once. Mommy didn't want that happening this time so she made them give me one shot at a time. The nurse was really quick and I didn't have any pain in my thigh for the rest of the day.

I Like Peas and Carrots

On October 30th I tried Beech-Nut Tender Sweet Peas for the first time. I made a funny face at first, but I kept going back for more. Since then I've eaten peas 5 times. Mommy switched me to Gerber NatureSelect 1st Foods because she is a big fan of Gerber products. I went from eating a 1/2 jar to a full jar of peas.





Today I tried carrots for the first time. I ate a whole jar of carrots my first time. They were so tasty and I wanted more after I finished what was there. Of course mommy didn't want to give me more and I had a bottle instead.

Family Photo

It's family photo time! We went on a drive today through Emigration Canyon and East Canyon. My parents were hoping to find a nice place in the Canyon to take a family picture, but they just couldn't find the right spot. In the end we decided to pose on our front doorstep. Do you like the way we match?
