23-12-2008 - He's already 6.5 months!

My mood while writing this blog: shocked!

Well it's December 23rd today, Joey turned a half year old on the 5th. I cannot believe how quickly time is flying. I also cannot believe that we will be celebrating his first Christmas together in two days! He had his check up last week, daddy took him for the first time by himself. He lucked out and only had to witness two shots! Daddy said that with the first one, Joey just stared at the nurse and then when that second one hit - the lip started and then came the tears! He did great with them as usual, he actually didn't even sleep a lot this time around. It was like he didn't get them, I am proud of him. His doctor said that he may end up going right to walking at a young age; when she stood him up she was very impressed with his strength. He still does NOT have teeth! She apparently looked inside this time and said "wow, those are going to be coming through any day now!" - I think she's right! He has been up the past 2 nights wailing and gnawing away. Mortin has been our friend (o: His nose is non stop runny and he is running a very slight fever. Who knows, it could just be the season - but argh the teething is, and has been, killing me!!

Joey's milestones:

rolls ALL over the house!

tries to crawl, does the inchworm!

sits up normally, without falling down!

can lift himself up onto the couch, exersaucer, crib, etc. (the mattress had to just be moved down thanks to his new found glory!)!

babbles a lot, says mom, mom, mom! dadda, bubba!

Joey's 6 month stats:

15lbs 15 ozs and 28 inches long

He's doing wonderfully! I can't believe he's mine!!
