Riley's 6 Month Stats!!!!

Wow! Can you believe it?! Riley is SIX MONTHS OLD?!?! Good grief, where did the time go?! I feel like I was still pregnant not that long ago, and yet, I now have a rolly-poley-tooth-baring-sitting-up-to-eat-solids-squealy-chuckling little 6 month old boy!?! Sheesh.

So yesterday was Riley's official half-birthday, and we had my old college and rugby friend Susannah come down from Longmont to take pictures of him for us... as soon as she posts them on a share site for us, I'll be sure to post that site here for ya'all to view :) We had a wonderful time with Susannah, and Riley was SUCH a ham for her, I cannot wait to see the pictures. Here is ONE that she posted to her blog this morning...



This morning Riley had his 6 month doctor appointment, which means yes, he had more vaccinations today, poor little fella... ouch! But he was SUCH a good boy, he cried when she stabbed him 3 times (wouldn't you?!), but then recovered very quickly and conked out. Here's to hoping his reaction to these vaccinations mimics those at 2 months as opposed to 4 months (he was just sleeping and a little fussy at 2 months, but was wicked fussy at 4 months, pobrecito). The good news is no more vaccinations (other than a flu shot in the fall) until his 1 year appointment! Woo hoo!

Now for his stats...
Height: 25.5 inches, 19th percentile
Weight: 16 pounds, 23rd percentile
Head Circ: 17 inches, 34th percentile

Hefty Hefty Hef-ty! heh heh heh... :)

And he scored very well on his development questionnaire, too! He's sitting up, rolling over, grabbing things with one hand and passing them to the other, putting everything he can get his little paws on into his mouth, having conversations with us, mimicking our sounds, and he's even starting to show signs of stranger-danger and separation anxiety... all right on track for his age! Such a good little man.

Happy Half-Birthday, Riley! We love you bunches!
Love,
Mummy & Daddy

Pictures to come when Susannah is done editing! Promise!
