Jack at 6 Months

• You like to eat paper (e.g. magazines, catalogs, etc...) and you get angry if we pull it away from you because you are not supposed to be eating it.

• You are really trying to get up into a crawling position...and you have, for about a millisecond.

• You have eaten (in this order) rice cereal, squash, green beans, peas, and applesauce and you have not protested any of them...this contributes to your chubbiness.

• You still do not have any teeth, but I swear they are coming soon.

• You are quickly growing out of your infant car seat, and just about everything else.

• You love to blow raspberries.

• You have gotten sick for the first time and had your first fever (103.3)...apparently due to an ear infection. You have received your first taste of antibiotics...and you seem to like it.

• Those antibiotics gave you diarrhea, which has been absolutely wonderful for mommy and daddy (I say sarcastically).

• You are 19.5 pounds. Up two pounds from your checkup in early June. We only found out due to the after hours visit to the doctor's office for your high fever. You keep getting bigger and bigger and the only assumption that I can make is that you will be 850 pounds by the time you are 20.
