6 Months




Grandma and Grandpa made a short trip down, so they got to feed Weston!


Weston is reading already! ha Holding one of his valentines day cards.

Last week Weston turned 6 months, its hard to believe it. He is growing and getting so big and independent. He had his 6 month check up yesterday and he is doing great. He is 15lbs and 11 Oz. He is in the 15th percentile for weight. He is 26 inches long which he is in the 30th percentile for that. The doctor was very impressed with his sitting ability. He has great control, he actually said that is how a 8th month old would sit. He did get three shots yesterday as well, and that didn't go over well. But I don't blame him.
He is eating food three times a day now. In the morning for breakfast he is eating a fruit, and he gets vegetables in the afternoon and evening. For those of you who don't know I am pureeing his food. Its been fun trying to find all the food for him to try and make them. The only food he hasn't liked is bananas. I mashed them up for him he didn't like them, so I tried a jar of bananas and he didn't want them either.
His hair has kind of changed color as well. He doesn't have a lot of hair, but its becoming more blonde now than dark brown. So we will have to see what color he has in a couple more months.
The past couple of weeks he has really started to notice when we leave or enter into the room. He follows you the whole way, he also follows you and tries to see if you go behind a wall or a couch. So playing peekaboo is a lot of fun.
About two weeks ago he got his first cold. We even had to take him for a sick visit. He ran a temp for a couple of days, and was really congested. We were just thankful it didn't develop into something else.
He is all smiles, he doesn't have any teeth cutting yet and I am dreading that day. I hope he is one of those kids that it doesn't bother him.
He has a lot of tickle spots! Brandon says he is just like his mom! LOL
He laughs and talks a lot. He loves watching Nala and Millie, he gets so excited when they walk by him.
