Spencer is 6 months!

It’s amazing how time flies when you aren’t sleeping! Spencer is 6 months already! My happy, smiley baby is obsessed with Alex and eating, and always wants both at the same time. He’s become quite a snacker because he is always distracted by trying to watch and play with Alex. We’ve tried a few solid foods: rice cereal, bananas, and sweet potatoes, but he isn’t getting them every day yet. I plan on trying avocados next! Spencer is definitely ready to crawl, preferring to always be on his belly so he can push up and rock or squirm over to a toy or Alex. He’s a busy baby! We finally have his bedtime at the same time as Alex, and he’s sleeping until around 9:00 in the morning. He usually wakes one or two times to eat, and lately, try to play.

Spencer’s 6 month well baby check-up was today. He had to get 4 vaccinations, along with the usual measurements. Here are the stats:

Height: 28 inches … 94th %ile (he’s grown 1.5 inches in 2 months)

Weight: 18 pounds … 58th %ile (he’s gained 2 pounds in 2 months)

Head: 45 cm … 90th %ile (his head grew 2 cm in 2 months)
