Early well visit and other photos

We went to see Dr. Fitch today for our 6 month check up due to a scheduling issue (6 month b-day is 5/6). It turns out that last time he was weighed (early March, 4 month check-up) they gave me his weight incorrectly. So Booker now weighs 16.4 pounds, which is almost what his reported weight was at 4 months. Anyhow, everything else looks great:

• His umbillical hernia has healed on it's own so we won't be facing any future surgery.
• He is above the 50% mark in all catagories.
• He has hit all of his 6 month milestones, despite his preemie beginnings.
• He's off preemie formula 3 months early!

Here's a photo from the doctor's scale. (Pay no attention to the scrape on his bum. I have to wait until he's alseep to clip his nails and he scratched himself during bathtime this morning before I could clip them.)

Here are 2 photos of my big boy playing. He is very interested in his toys these days. We sat like this for about an hour this afternoon while he grabbed different things and picked them up for inspection. Check out all of the dark hair that's coming in!

I purchased this cute baseball outfit at The Family Dollar, of all places. I'm so good about not going into baby clothing stores because of our tight budget and then I get snagged at the dollar store! Luckily, it was only $4.99. I bought it mostly because my Dad is such a huge baseball fan, I thought he'd get a kick out of it. I'm sure a tiny glove will be headed into Booker's little hands before too long!
