Jonathen just had his six month check up. The little guy is getting so big. He now weighs 18 lbs 8 oz (75th percentile), has a head circumference of 17 1/2 inches (75th percentile) and is 28 1/2 inches long (off the chart, about 97th percentile). No wonder his clothes don't fit very well. He is getting super excited to start moving. He is able to get up on his hands and knees and he goes backwards really well. He is still working on going forward. He just started his second feeding of cereal and he absolutely loves it. He really likes eating things off of his mommy and daddy's plates also. He loves his brother very much and will get into a growling/yelling war with Wesley. He loves to play with any type of ball and enjoys rolling a ball back and forth with either Mommy or Wesley. He has been constipated and when I mentioned it to the doctor he recommended a laxative for Jon. During the examination Dr. Graham checked Jon's bum and found he had a fissure in his anus that was causing him to hold his bowel movements and therefore making them very hard. He is now taking miralax and having huge blow outs. Oh well, the price of healing his fissure. The doctor says the fissure will heal by itself as long as we keep Jon's bowel movements very soft. Hopefully we will be able to get him healed up. He is a very happy baby and loves to laugh and play. We love him very much and enjoy his happy spirit.
