6 months old

Looking good at 6 months. Here is his report.


Sam will be 6 months old on Sunday. This time caring for a newborn to 6 month old has gone much faster.
Attitude: Samuel is our happy guy, always smiling hardly ever crying. I always say I use to think Kate was a good baby but then I had Sam.... who is much better.
Appearance :He has lost some of his chunk- and looks older for it. He is wearing 12 month clothes for the most part still though and that is because he is so tall. I think he is the handsomest thing ever. He has both Jake and my dimples- just like Kate, tons of muscle and a strange long pinky toe! He does have hair, it is just hard to see because it is sooo blonde. And we are all in love with his sad eyes!
Appetite: He loves to eat. So far is he has had rice cereal and oatmeal, apricots, sweet potatoes, pears, plums, apples and bananas. So far his favorite thing seems to be the banana "milkshakes" Jake makes him- a combo of water, rice cereal, formula and bananas.
Activity: He loves to play. He laughs at anything. Loves watching Kate and loves when she brings him all his toys... and I mean all his toys. He has found his voice. Jake and I always say that we are in trouble because he seems to be "talking" more than Kate did at this age... and we can't get her to be quiet even for 3o seconds. She literally talks from sun up to sun down. If Sam follows suite (and he seems to be so far) we are in for one LOUD house.
He seems to be a slower "mover" than Kate was. He can't sit up for more than a few seconds at this point, and is still a week or more from crawling. He does love to scoot though and no blanket can contain him these days. He has scooted across the entire living room just to get a toy.
At Night: He is a sporadic sleeper. Most nights 4 hours is as long as he will go, but then he will sleep for seven maybe once a week.

Straight A's for Sam. Obviously we think he is an A+


update: Here are his growth stats

Weight: 17.11 50%
Height 27.5 " 75%
Head 18.5 95%
