Half Birthday

Well, tomorrow is Jack's half birthday! I can't believe he's already 6 months old! In one way it feels like yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital, and in another way it seems like I can't even remember back to when he wasn't part of our family. In the last few weeks he truly has changed. He is so much more interactive and talkative (ok, babble-ative), and when we go out he stares people down and squeals at them until they look at him so he can smile at them. He truly is the happiest kid I have ever seen and as much as I loved snuggling his tiny little newborn sleeping body, this stage is A LOT more fun! Matt and I are so excited for the holidays coming up, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the fact that Jack will be old enough to actually enjoy the festivities. We're off to a pumpkin patch and fall festival this weekend! Should be fun.

Well, as with many other "month-birthdays", today Jack celebrated with a doctors appointment, normal immunizations and a flu shot. Poor kid! Of course there were some tears, but nothing a bottle couldn't fix at the end! Jack topped the charts again this month! He is weighing in at 21lbs 2oz and measuring a whopping 29". He is 97th percentile for weight and 100th percentile for height (although Matt informed me that there is no such thing as 100th percentile...it's really 99.9999999 but I think you get the picture). And my arms are starting to look like Michelle Obama's!
