Teddy is SIX months old!!

We can't believe another month has flown by!!! I think all of our traveling made this month pass extra quickly. I took Teddy for his 6 month well visit at the doctors office Monday and he is doing great. Here are his new stats:
Height 27 inches- 71 percentile
Weight 18 lbs 14 oz- 75 percentile
Cheeks- still in the 99th percentile
We are very proud of our little man. Over the past six months he has gotten many compliments has been called lots of different things ranging from: chunky, sweet cheeks, hefty, solid, and durrito (from my friend from Columbia). But our favorite of all is when a lady in the airport exclaimed, "He is JUICY!" We love our juicy boy:
Teddy is growing and changing SO quickly (while his bear appears to be shrinking)! Teddy now has four teeth through and two more on the way. His pediatrician said he is getting them "vampire style" because the top middle ones are a little behind the teeth on either side of the middle. He is sitting up pretty well now unassisted and he is great at grabbing everything. In fact, during the vision exam, the nurse was surprised by how quickly Teddy grabbed the sensory pad that was on his head and ripped it off. She said babies don't usually do that until the 12 month check up! But he "passed" the screening and seemed to even enjoy it. He is so much fun at this age- he really is a happy little boy. He is babbling a lot more and is very intrigued by his environment. We are gearing up to give Teddy his first "solid" (though pureed to liquid) food this week. Also in our plans this month- child/baby proof the house!! We know we had better do it now while we can!

Below is my attempt to capture a picture of Teddy's top teeth. Not the best picture but you can kind of see one of them:


Teddy has also started jumping more. Here's a quick video:

Have a great day!
