Thursday morning Luke has his six month check up. When the doctor walked in Luke smiled and waved at him. (He is just beginning to wave at people.) Dr. Wisner thought he was quite a social little boy. Luke weighed 18lbs. 4oz. (70th percentile) and 29.5 inches (that one was off the chart!). He had 2 shots which seemed to be more painful than his 4 month round of shots. Every time we go we have to fill out a developmental survey. He could do almost everything on the survey...he was beyond what they asked about gross motor skills, already able to crawl. The only thing he doesn't do yet is babble with sounds like da, ka, ba, ga. Although I have noticed "da" over the last day.
It seems like Luke has suddenly been doing a lot. He learned how to crawl on his hands and knees, he can easily go from sitting to crawling to sitting again. He is pulling himself to stand more easily now. Its a little more difficult to put him to bed because though we lay him down, he just gets up! He is getting two bottom teeth at the same time, so he is drooling all over, has a runny nose and is not sleeping very well at night. We've started him on solid food for crawlers which is a little more tasty...he liked Chichen Noodle yesterday for lunch. He has "Puffs," a disolving cereal treat that he tries to pick up. He works so hard to get his thumb and index finger to grasp them and does about half the time, then puts in his mouth. But he only lets it dissolve and then spits out the soggy leftovers. Also, we were looking into how much longer he can use his car seat because of his weight thinking it would be a few more months at least. Its 22lbs but we didn't know there was a height limit too! Its 30 inches! So he will be getting a new car seat here soon.
Pictures coming soon!
