6 Months

Dear Jack - we just got back from your 6 month well baby check-up, and you are a completely different baby from just two months ago! Operation Make Jack Fat was an unqualified success - you now weigh more than 17 pounds (40th percentile) and are measuring 28 1/2 inches long - that's longer than 97% of babies your age! You were showing off your great hand-eye coordination and flexibility.


You are starting to sleep better - still not great, but generally better than 45 minutes at a stretch! You love to watch your brother as he runs and runs and runs and I remind him that he has an attentive audience. You are turning into a real foodie, trying pears, bananas, brown rice, and avocado without even batting an eye.

Look at those guns!

Sophie the giraffe is your favorite toy - it must feel so good on your new chompers to gnaw on her legs and ears. You're sitting up nice and strong, giving you a new perspective on the world (though you often still end up on your back or side as gravity catches you off-guard).

You have completed our little family perfectly and I can hardly remember life before you came. We have so much adventure ahead of us!

Love,
Mama
