We recently had Maddox's 6 month check-up. He was all smiles up until all the shots:-( But he did okay and didn't cry too much. He is my tough guy...ha...not really:-) He weighed 21lbs and 4oz which put him in the 93rd percentile. He was also 27 1/2 inches long (79%). He is growing (which isn't really surprising) and doing well. He is pretty much to the point where he can sit up on his own. He does fall over quite a bit if he is not concentrating on sitting, but he is getting there. The doctor did say he had some swelling on his top teeth, so I am hoping that he will soon have some little teeth popping out! He hasn't been sleeping his best either (getting up at 4 or 5 AM), he does go back to sleep after a bottle..but still! I'm hoping this is related to the teeth and not a separate issue that we are going to have to seriously work on!
My baby boy is such a happy guy at this point. He had a rough start but I couldn't ask for a more sweet and affectionate little boy. Of course it helps that I am his Mama and he LOVES his Mama:-) How lucky am I?
We have been very busy, so while visiting Granny & Poppy in Tulsa we decided to make a trip out to the Carmichael's Pumpkin Patch. It was chilly, a lot colder than it had been in San Antonio so we had to bundle up. Grace loved all the pumpkins and Madd was especially fond of the hay that he tried to eat on numerous occasions. We attempted the pony ride, but of course Grace got all the way up to the horse and decided that it wasn't for her. She also wanted nothing to do with all the farm animals. She has developed numerous fears over the last few months including, clowns, anything really in a furry costume (that includes Chuck E. Cheese), horses, goats, dogs, cats and some people. Yep, it's been super fun! We ended our trip with a hayride. All in all, I think Grace had fun and Madd he enjoyed being held by Poppy the entire time.
