Progress Report - 6 Months

Monday Marcus had his 6 month check up Monday. Little man isn't so little!

Official stats:
Height - 28.25 inches (95th percentile)
Weight - 21 pounds 10 ounces (97th percentile)

Apparently Marcus gained four pounds in the last two months. Our doctor said babies who average a pound a month are doing well. Marcus had no trouble doubling the average weight. What a little tank! In the doctor's words, "If Marcus continues growing at this rate he will be a solid, healthy boy." Solid - ha!

Also at this check-up the little man had his 6 month shots. Ugh. Never, ever fun.

Marcus was wiped after his vaccinations.

After the doctor appointment I put Marcus down for his nap (these days he immediately flips to his stomach when he sleeps).

I keep our baby monitor right by my side; I check the monitor every few minutes. When this is what the screen displays I can't help but laugh a bit:

How is this comfortable?!

It finally struck me to snap a few pics of the little man in this seemingly less-than comfy position.

Look at that little tush! 

Though it was apparent Marcus was experiencing some pain bedtime wasn't nearly as rough as it had been previously.
