Well, I finally got Pierce to the pediatrician for his 6 month check up... only a month and a half late. It's what I get for being in Dallas for 7 weeks! :) I had just taken him and Jake in 2 days before since they were both sick- 2 fevers, 3 out of 4 ears infected (including pus!), one yucky cough and one "wicked" sore throat. Anyways, we were back on Friday for his "official" visit. I just love Pierce so much that it feels like my heart could just burst at the seams.
It's funny to look back at the 2 months we were in Dallas. We got there right before he turned 6 months. He was just barely sitting and barely eating baby food. In a matter of just 3 weeks, he literally "took off." He is now crawling all over the place. Even pulling up to a standing position and walking the length of the couch or coffee table. We have a bet going on that he will be walking by 10 months... we'll see!
Official stats :
28 inches long (75%)
17.14 pounds (30%)- he has dropped a little but the pediatrician doesn't seem to be worried since he has obviously become a very active child! :)
Other things from the past 2 months that i want to remember:
Sat all by himself just a week before 6 months.
At 6 1/2 months he went from laying to sitting, crawling on all 4's (2 whole months earlier than Jake!), and standing up. Seriously, all within about 2 weeks. Boom boom boom- just like that! Our pediatrician says to just get ready, he is going to be a pretty active toddler! Good grief!
He had his first ear infection at 6 months and his second one at 7 1/2 months along with a yucky cough and a "wicked" sore throat- just breaks a momma's heart!
Sleeps at night from 7:00 pm to anywhere between 6:30 and 7:30 am
Takes 2 naps. Wish he would take a short 3rd nap but rarely does. I guess he has too much life to live :)
Cries almost immediately when Jake starts to cry- sweet little man already has such a sensitive heart... that or he really hates hearing his brother pitch a fit (but then so do I)!
Speaking of big brother, Pierce has to be wherever Jake is. Loves him so much. I really can't wait to watch them grow up together and be just the best of buds.
He is almost able to hold his bottle by himself.
Loves all fruit. Likes some vegetables. Hates cereal.
happy as a little lark this boy is!
