Six Months Old

Chan Chan got to celebrate his 6 month birthday while we were in Hawaii and today he had his checkup.  He met all his developmental milestones - tracking things with his eyes, laughing, smiling, talking (ba and da sounds), recognizing his name, rolling over, sitting up, reaching for objects in front of him and transfering things from one hand to the next.  He weighed in at 19# 0.5oz (exactly 12 pounds over his birth weight!), 26 inches, and his head circumference was 17 1/2" which placed him in the 80th percentile for everything.  He also got 4 shots and handled them like a champ.  He started to cry as the second one was going in but was done as soon as the fourth one was over with.  Esme, Chan and I all got our flu shots today so hopefully we're covered for this year.  Esme also took her flu shot like a champ.  She didn't even flinch but later talked about how it hurt.  I think this is the first time she'll remember what shots are since it's been so long since she's had one prior to this.  I think it was her flu shot last year which she obviously didn't remember so I'm glad this was a good experience for her.
