Week 25: Oh the pain...

April 20, 2008

It's tough becoming six months old!! What a painful week (for all of us). Marshall has four teeth coming in, two bottom teeth and two molars. Needless to say we all have not had enough sleep.

In addition, Marshall had his 6 month check-up and three shots in his legs. He weighed in at 15 lbs. 7 oz. and 27 inches long. He grew 3 inches in the last two months alone and is now in the 75th Percentile for his height! And despite as much solid food as he has been eating is still in the 25th Percentile for his weight. But we are perfectly fine with that since he is such an active baby, he probably consumes a lot of calories throughout the day!

Despite the harrowing nights this week, he is still such a happy and fun baby throughout the day.

Daddy is so much fun to play with. You can see that he likes to be scared a little.

Marshall also had his first school pictures taken. Chris, being the sentimental guy, picked up the pictures to mark the occasion of Marshall's first "school pictures." They were not good, so I promptly returned them to the photographer (after I scanned them into the computer "to mark the occasion") the next day to get our money back. The photographer said he wasn't surprised I was returning them since he distinctly remembered my child as having a melt down shortly after the photo was taken. Awesome.
Here are some additional photos from this week:When he's tired while he's eating his bottle, he'll cover his eyes with this little dramatic pose.

What baby doesn't love making a mess!
Oh, Thomas the Train is VERY interesting to read before bed time!

He is so much fun now - I can't wait for the twins to start "doing" things. Love the video of him in the exersaucer. We can't wait to see you guys again!
