Weekly Wednesday

I guess it is really official...he had his 6 month well check yesterday. We were okayed to start eating meat. Oh boy was my first thought. How am I going to figure that one out but I think we did beautifully. Tonight for dinner, he had chicken, sweet potatoes, some prunes and 1/2 a banana. Should I mention that they were all pureed together and resembled creamy peanut butter and was actually pretty good...yes, we did taste it! Do you honestly think we would feed our baby something that neither of us had tried?! And he LOVED it. It pretty much just tasted like bananas.
So, as of yesterday, our happy little guy weighed in at 15.9 lbs. and was 26 1/2" long. He is about average height and below average for his weight. What is this you ask? Yes, we have our first skinny baby! Oh, what's that, you didn't ask? Oh well, you know you wanted to.

Poor guy turned on the charm as best he could; afterall, he did get 5 shots yesterday in his skinny little legs. So considering the trauma he had to endure, I think he was more than cooperative.

Mostly on the serious side but I think he likes to see "The Mommy and Daddy Sideshow of Circus Tricks" on Wednesdays when we try to get a smile.

He has a way of turning on the charm no matter what.

He just melts my heart!

Oh and he discovered our lovely dead grass today too.

He thought it was the neatest thing ever.

Look what I can mostly do by myself!

We have a peeping Boog Tom too!

I just wish you could see his whole outfit...batman pj top, polar bear boxer breifs, and batman crocs! What a sight he was.

Guess who's 5 months old today?!?

And he is trying to sit up all by himself...I think I just might cry. He is growing up so fast. Today was also his first day of Kindermusik. I think he had a great time. He "talked" and smiled at Ms. Penni the whole time. Of course we had to chew on our hands during class too! It was so fun going back today. Boog has moved up from class to class. Now he is in the 'big boy" class and goes in by himself. It was neat today because we have babies in our class that had siblings in some of Boog's classes through the years. It is always fun to have new babies at the same time so they can all be friends! Hopefully we can stay in the same classes again and watch the babies grow.

Perfect baby piggies...
