A Week Without Mommy and Still OK

We made it! Jack and I survived an entire week without Mary (well, there was a lot of help from Grandparents). Mary was back in Oklahoma for her Sister's wedding, unfortunately I couldn't get time off from work so we stayed home. We had a good time, except for his visit to the doctor and the vaccinations he got. He sure doesn't like those needles! Jack is now over 2 feet long (24 3/4") and ,as per last night, weighs 16 pounds 5 ounces. He is getting to be little sack of potatoes.

Jack really enjoyed hanging out with the Grandparents, and I liked getting the extra rest. Yesterday his Auntie DeAnna came by a hung out with him. It's always good to get family to visit. This weekend Mary is taking the little guy to get some photos done. So all you family members can look forward to some professional style pics of Jack arriving soon.

6 Months Old

So it's now officially June and Jack is 6 months old. Height ,weight and mile stone wise he is about where a 3 moth old would be. All that is pretty much what we have expected. Mary has been gone all week long, and he's been having fun hanging out with me, Grandma and Grandpa. But, I'm sure he misses his Mommy and she miss her Jack.

Yesterday Jack went in for his 6 month check up. All systems are go! He was 15 pounds 10 ounces and 24 and a half inches long. All his measurements are is the low percentiles for 6 month olds (around 20th percentile), but in the high 90's for 3 month olds (which is his adjusted age). He has started holding his head up even higher when on tummy time, and is on the verge of a solid roll over.

So it's all ahead until his next check up in December.
