Six months old

Casey turned six months old on Sunday! I guess his half-birthday is what he needed for motivation because all of a sudden, he is sitting up and rolling over. Jacob and Gavin both rolled over from back to tummy around 4 and a half months. So I was a little concerned when Casey waited until 5 and a half months to accomplish this feat. Once we saw him do it, it took several days until he would do it again. It was the same with sitting up by himself. He could only sit for a few seconds at a time without toppling over. A friend told me that sitting in the boppy for support would help and it worked like a charm! So now, within days of turning six months, Casey is officially sitting up and rolling over.

Casey had his well-check last week and weighed 17 lbs 8 oz and was 27 and 1/2 inches tall. He sat there smiling at me as the nurse drew blood from his toe and kept pulling the oral vaccination into his mouth for more. I think she was relieved that Casey was making her job so easy. Until the shots anyway... then he turned beet red and screamed!
