Max is officially a 6 month old child! My mind is reeling a little at that thought since it seems like we've had him for ever yet the last 6 months have flown by! Either way, In the world of Max, He had a terrible 6 month birthday, poor kid, including shots, choking (not ground up enough Lentils) and a small fever!
He had his 6 month check up yesterday (including booster shots which caused the fever) and is growing excellently. He is 15lbs and 14oz and 27.5 inches long(The 85th percentile). He's gonna be tall like daddy and Uncle Nick and Grandpa and ALL of his maternal cousins! The doctor said he is definitely teething because you can see his gums are a little swollen. other then that the Last Elegant Bear is growing well, developing well and still beyond adorable.
We've started a swim class along with our mommy & me yoga with some of Max's friends. Its pretty cute with all of the babies in their little bathing suits...Max seems to not mind the water, kind of take-it-or-leave-it attitude, sometimes liking it sometimes not. I have a couple of pictures though courtesy of Abby Sievers (mother of Max's girlfriend, Cornelia) that I'll share here.
Other then that, Max is eating solids still like a champ and will be able to start finger foods within the next month. He is working on sitting up but so far can only do the tripod thing for a few nano-seconds. He's using more and more syllables though so he should start talking pretty soon (I'm working on his first word either being Mama-of course-or bidon which is french for tummy!). Rolling over is old news, standing is getting easier and easier (he can hold up his own weight but doesn't have the balance to stand unsupported), he's squirming all over the place, chewing on everything has commenced and so has the happy screaming phase.
And we still have a super happy little baby! Please enjoy the proof! :)
