6 months!



Luke is 6 months old! I can't believe how fast time has flown by. It seems like it wasn't very long ago that I was as big as a whale and wobbling around with him still in my tummy. We are so happy that he is a growing healthy boy, although I wish time would slow down just a little bit....
Luke had his 6 month checkup today. He weighs 17 lbs. 6 oz., is 26.8 inches long and has a head circumference of 17.5 inches. He is still a growing boy but has definitely slowed down the weight gain. He was such a trooper getting his shots today. He cried during the shots but was smiling soon afterward.
He is getting his first teeth! Yesterday I felt his first bottom tooth breaking through. The pediatrician said that both are starting to come through. We didn't even realize he was teething. He hasn't been very fussy or irritable, but he has been wanting to bite everything! Last night they seemed to be bothering him, he woke up about every hour. Hopefully they will break through quickly and not cause him to much pain. We can't believe how grown up he is!
