Henry 6 months

I can not believe Henry is already 6 months old.  His wellness visit went well.  Although we are at the same office- I decided to change his primary doctor.  I loved his last doctor but he is so busy and every time we would make his appointments we would end up being there for 2 hours- who has time for that?  I was very happy with the lady we saw and will continue to request her for Henry and the other two. 

At 6 months:  18.5lbs & 27 1/2 inches long. 

I had a lot of questions for the doctor this time around.  Henry still isn't rolling over and although he will arch his back and turn himself around so he can see what he wants- he does not like the actual rolling over motion.  The doctor assured us that not rolling over is one of the last indicators that they would look for to determine if there was a deficiency.  She said that if a child rolls over late (or not at all) generally they are late crawlers.  Charlie and Emmy both didn't crawl until 9 months anyways so I'm thinking Henry is just going to go straight to walking.  He is doing good sitting up and can for awhile on his own.  He is much more vocal now and is LOVING the exersaucer. 

My favorite things about this age is how they look at you and can't help but smile.  He is getting such a fun personality- he loves to be tickled, laugh and bounce.  It seems like the crazier you are with him the more he likes it! 

Henry is in LOVE with his big brother and sister.  Anytime he is fussy we just send Charlie and Emmy over by him and he is back to smiling.  They are both so great with him- although Charlie loves to be IN HIS FACE at all times. 

Happy 1/2 birthday Henry Dean! We love you so much and can't wait to see what the next 6 months have in store for us!
