6 months old...and all's well!

As promised, I am updating after Isaac's 6 months doctor's appointment on Monday. Here are the latest stats:
Weight: 18 lbs.
Height: 27 in.

He's slowed down a little in his weight gain...so they were slightly concerned that he didn't gain more since his last visit...which is really funny because Isaac eats like a champ. They are REALLY concerned about him...but they are just going to keep an eye to make sure he's steadily gaining like he is supposed to. He is such a champ! He had three shots (including flu) and did really well. He cried for just a second afterwards, and then he was fine. He did end up getting a low-grade fever the next day, which happened last time he got shots too...so we weren't really worried. Other fun stuff: After rolling over like crazy on the floor, he's discovered he can roll over in his crib! Fun stuff! He rolls all over the crib, but the beauty is that he puts himself to sleep on his tummy and sleeps ALL NIGHT LONG!!! Woo Hoo!! He loves reading books at bedtime, and loves mommy singing to him. He's also been eating veggies lately...here is his list, in order of preference.

1. Sweet Potatoes (his new favorite, as of tonight) :)
2. Carrots
3. Green Beans
4. Peas

We're trying squash next, and then moving on to meats! So far he hasn't had a reaction to anything, so hopefully that will continue and we won't have to worry about food allergies in his future!

He has also recently discovered splashing in the bathtub. It's histarical because he'll splash, and then get surprised when his face gets wet...but he loves it! Here is a rough video of him at bath time having fun. (Disclaimer: video was shot with Jessica's cell phone...so it's a little rough)
