Everett turned 6 month old this month.
At his well check last week, he weighed 18 lbs, 13 oz, was 27.6 inches long, and had a head circumference of 42.8. He wears size 9 month clothes and size 3 diapers. He has started baby food!
So far, he has had Gerber Oatmeal with breastmilk, carrots blended up with breastmilk, Gerber brand Stage 1 green beans, mashed sweet potatoes, and Baby Mum-Mums. He took a little while to get used to the mum-mums, but now he loves them. He did not like the oatmeal at first, but after about a week, he started opening his mouth when he saw the spoon coming his way. He thought the carrots were okay. He did not like the green beans at all and would refuse to open his mouth. He liked the sweet potatoes! He's not a big eater just yet and still loves to nurse around the clock.
Everett enjoys tummy time in short doses. He rolls over and can pivot himself so that he can cross the room if given enough time (and always moves off of the blanket I put on the ground for him). He is quick to smile at everyone and has a great laugh. He has two bottom teeth and loves to chew on everything. He is starting to outgrow his bouncer and swing. He can sit assisted. He loves his toes and takes off all socks and shoes. His hair is growing in blonde, and his eyes are still light in color (they look either blue or green depending on what he's wearing that day).
Everett has gone to basketball games, birthday parties, play dates, a field trip to the fire station with Remington's class, and he went on a date with Mommy and Daddy to Red Lobster for their 11th wedding anniversary. He spent part of his first Spring Break on a road trip to Glen Rose, TX to visit Dinosaur Valley State Park and went in a pool for the first time in our hotel (the indoor pool at Hampton Inn, Cleburne, TX). He held onto Mommy and watched brothers swim and play. He had his first dentist visit on March 16th.
