6 months

Nathaniel is now 6 months old.  While it feels like just yesterday he was born, it also seems he has always been a part of our family.  He is growing up so fast.  He is sitting up by himself and has two teeth.  He loves to smile and laugh.  He knows his name and thinks it is funny when people say it too often.  He just went to the doctor for his 6 month checkup.  He is growing and progressing really well.  He is 28 inches long (90th percentile) and 14 lbs 7 oz (10th percentile).  Yet another tall skinny boy.  It always suprises my doctor when he checks my children's mouth and he finds teeth.  All of my boys got their teeth before 6 months.  Although children, on average, get their first tooth around 8 months.  He is eating second foods now and loving it.  Wesley and Jon also really love to give him things to eat.  We have to watch them though; they are not too picky about what they try to give him.  We love Nathaniel with all our hearts and are so happy to have him in our family.
