I wrote this blog a couple weeks ago and forgot to post it, but now I need to change some thing because Champ changes every day!...
December 30th Champ had his 6 month check-up…I can’t believe our little guy is already 6 months old! (now he will be 7 in like a week!)
It was the normal thing, check his height, get him weighed, played with the doctor for a bit (we love her so much, she is amazing!) and then the dreaded shots!
Only good news to report! Champ is perfectly healthy! He weighed in at 18 lbs 9 oz and was 28 inches I think, and we got the okay to start feeding him twice a day. And yes I’m that mom who generally doesn’t do too many new things (like start feeding him food) without the doctor’s approval. He was such a good boy and he even got a new book…then the nurse came in with the dreaded shots! You know, at 2 and 4 months I was perfectly fine with him getting shots. It was no big deal… he cried for two seconds and then got over it, but not this time. He knew he was being held down and hated every second of it! And not only did he just get the normal two, he had to get two extra (H1N1 and the regular flu shot). Let me just say that I’ve never ever heard Champ cry like that, and I totally cried too! If this is how its going to be then Joe needs to cowboy up and start taking him because if I hear that cry again, I'm most likely going to cry again.

So some updates on Champ…(mind you that some things he had been doing for a month or two)
He eats baby food twice a day.
His favorite food so far I think is Apples and Blueberries.
He loves those little puffs things and we are still working on him getting them into his mouth himself. (funny because everything else goes into his mouth)
He knows how to put his binky in his own mouth.
He HATES green beans (like father like son)
Same goes for holding his bottle (done that for awhile) and putting that in his mouth himself.
He has 8 teeth, 4 on top, 4 on bottom.
He hates it when I leave the room and he can’t see me.
He is a maniac in his walker in the kitchen, and that thing HURTS when it slams into the back of your heels.
He is a talker!
He is definitely a mama’s boy :)
He likes a blanket over his head or by his face when he is falling asleep but will eventually kick all of his blankets off.
He still doesn’t sleep through the entire night.

Not only does he not sleep through the night, now he just sits up and screams.
He loves the dogs. He pulls on Lola’s ears and thinks its the best thing ever when they run around and play with eachother.

He has been sitting up for some time now, but he can now sit up from laying down.
And it WAS going to be "last but not least" HE CAN CRAWL but thats old news! (he started officially crawling right after New Years day.

And Champ can now pull himself up to stand! He pulled himself up holding the couch on Thursday morning!
Sounds like he is a busy, active boy! And he has lots of teeth-impressive.
