Speaking of growing. We had his 6 month appointment on Friday. I will say it again, I hate shots. Not when I am getting them, but to see his little face turn beet red, and to watch him cry; breaks my heart. Thank goodness Heath goes with me! He had four shots this round, including a flu shot. Heath and I both try and guess Cayden's weight and height beforehand. We were both off. Cayden is now in the 80th percentile for weight at 19.09 pounds. Yowzer! Our car seat cuts off at 22 pounds...looks like we will need an upgrade soon! For the real surprise, he is now 29 inches long...that would the 95th percentile! He is long! Even the nurse and Dr. A commented on his size. He is currently wearing 6-12 month clothes (Gap), 9 month Carters pajamas. He is in size 3 diapers.
I may have a mother's blindness, and I know that he is a little chunky...but I don't find him to be at Butterball status. He is really solid, and long. So I think his weight is distributed pretty well. We also talked about his flat spot. The doctor seems pretty convinced that it will round itself out. His head is measuring 17 1/2, and is in the normal range. We will just keep sitting, bouncing, and playing on our tummy, and hopefully it will work itself out!
Cayden had another photo shoot last weekend...are you surprised? I got some pretty good pictures. This past week, I got a new lens, so I am looking forward to testing it out. I know Cayden is Super Pumped!
He is getting to be a very good sitter. I still put a pillow or Boppy behind him, just in case. Our floor is hard, and I hate it when he bumps his head! We are working on crawling. He is not picking it up very quickly. He does this swimming fish move where is arms and legs flail...not really the moves we need. If you stand him up, and hold his arms, he will "walk" or take steps. Maybe he will be a walker, and not a crawler?
It's funny. When I take pictures, or have ideas for pictures...I mentally think of other lenses I want. I love the picture of Cayden and Heath's feet...I would like my feet in there too, but probably need a wide lens. Oh well...it doesn't stop me from trying. I have already started thinking of 1st birthday ideas....too soon? Nah. I've come up with some pretty sweet ideas! But I can wait. I don't want to get ahead of myself. I want to keep enjoying the moments each day...good or bad.
Dear Cayden -
Boy do we love you! You are getting to the age where you are so fun, and full of personality. We love spending time with you. You love to play with your toys, but you also love being held. I don't mind. I kind of miss those naps where you fell asleep in my arms. I love that you are so happy, and are willing to give smiles and giggles to almost anyone you meet. I can't wait to see what adventures await for us!
We love you!
Mom and Dad
