6 or 8 months


Well Will is officially 8 months old. But for some reason I have missed 2 check ups. How does this happen?? Either way I took him in and he is way ahead of the game for a 6 month old:)
Height: 28 in
Weight: 19.6 lbs
Head: 97% no need for measurements
He is barely in the 50 percentile. I thought to myself. How could this be. He is huge! I don't know what it is. Maybe his head?? But really Wesley's weight at this age was much less. And he was always above average at his visits. How is my little monkey barely in the average. HUH?!? I don't know what they base it off of but I was thinking. Are kids just generally heavier these days or what?? It is ok that he is average I just would like to know what they base it off of. Either way he did great! He got his shots and hardly cried. He is one tough cookie. We have to go back in 6 weeks because I am behind on his shots and he would need his 9 month check up then anyway. I will try to keep this posted and try a lot harder on keeping Will up to date!

All I want for Christmas!...

Will got his first tooth!!
After weeks of a snotty nose and coughing and 2 very swollen two top front teeth. One tooth popped through on the BOTTOM!! HAHA I couldn't believe it. He has been so miserable and then a bottom tooth pops through with out any indication of it even coming through. It was so funny. This was last Wednesday, and it has been growing and is very sharp. Then after some more swelling and snotty nose one of the top teeth popped through yesterday! WAHOO!! I can just feel the relief he feels. Poor little guy it has been a rough few weeks. But we are on the down hill, at least till he starts with the other teeth. It has been a new experience for me, I didn't even know Wes was getting teeth till he bit me. I am just feeling for this poor baby. HE is usually the happiest baby and the last few weeks he can hardly breath and his gums were completely swollen, it was just sad. I am just so happy to have my happy baby back. It is so hard to see your babies in pain and hurt and you really can't do anything about it but wait. I want my boys to know that I would be there for them through thick and thin. I love them both so much!
