Six month stats

William had his 6 month well-baby appointment this morning. He is starting to taper off a bit in length/weight, but I'm not surprised as he is starting to become mobile and more active. He is still a BIG boy though. And of course, I think he is just perfect!

length - 27.5 inches (85th percentile)
weight - 20.5 pounds (90th percentile)
head circumference - 43.5cm (50th percentile)

One day before his 6 month birthday, he officially started sitting up. He is able to roll, but generally chooses not to. He prefers to lay on his back or bounce in his jumperoo. He has been eating solids for about a week and has taken to it really well. He loves avocado and oatmeal cereal. He has tried pears and apples, but was not overly excited about them. Sweet potatoes are another favorite. Tonight he is going to try carrots. I have been making all of his baby food in hopes that I won't end up with another picky eater.

Another huge accomplishment for William...he no longer needs to be swaddled at night. I'm glad he was able to wean himself from the swaddle, but it's just another sign that he is growing up. While I'm glad that it was an easy transition for him, I'm a little sad about it, too. There was something so sweet about him needing that comfort. And I guess I'm not ready to not have a little baby in the house anymore...
