The weigh-in.

Ryan's six month well visit was last week.

The Husband and I were making guesses at how much he weighs.  Bill guessed 25 lbs and I guessed 23.

Drum roll.......

Pre-shots.  :)

 He weighed in at 21 lbs 15 oz!  That's exactly triple his 7 lb 5 oz birth weight. And only one ounce shy of 22 lbs.  I should have waited to change his diaper before they weighed him.  He definitely would have been over 22! He grew 3 3/4 inches since his four month visit too putting him at nearly 29 inches long.  97th percent for both height and weight.

My poor baby got SIX shots.  The scheduled five and then a flu shot. He remembered what was going to happen too.  As soon as I laid him down and the nurse held his legs he started to cry.  Even after I picked him up he continued to "complain."  He's got a really good complaining whine.  When he does it it sounds like he's saying Mom.

Speaking of that, he DID say mom this last week.  Loud and clear and on video.  :)  

He's hit the separation anxiety age.  I can't set him down and walk away because he'll start to cry.  He does it with Bill also.  I was holding him the other night and The Husband got up and walked into the other room and Ryan started crying.  It's funny and a little frustrating at the same time.  Pretty hard to get things done around here.

Ryan also has his third tooth poking through!  There seem to be more on the way because he's been a total pill lately.  His awesome sleeping habits have disappeared.  Long gone are the nights of 8-9 hours of sleep.  Now he's up several times a night lately but every night is different.    We've tried baby orajel and the Hyland's teething tablets to help with his pain but I don't notice a huge difference with either.  Man, I really miss those eight hour nights.

Have I mentioned how much he loves his sisters?

Every day is like this:

 He wants to hug and kiss them both all the time. 

Ryan still isn't too enthusiastic about baby food.  He seems way more interested in whatever we're eating.  I've let him taste some of what I've had that's baby friendly.  He makes the funniest faces when he's trying new foods.

Eating my bowl and trying to grab for my meatball.

 It finally got cold here this last week and I got to dress him in his warmer clothes.

I had to wake him up to take the sisters to school this day.  He wasn't happy.

 Ryan has grown so much in the last few months that he's now in a size four diaper and has started to outgrow his 12 month clothes.

My mom bought him this 18 month outfit a little while ago and when I tried it on him this week it fit great!  A little long in the length of the sleeves and pants but better than the 12 month stuff. 

Time is going by way too fast.  He'll be seven months old on Tuesday!
