6 months!

Tank had his 6 month appointment on Jan. 14th.  He weighed 17 lbs. 12 oz.  27.25 inches long and his head is 17.75 inches in diameter.  He has grown so much!!  The ped was impressed of all of his motor and verbal skills thus far and declared him a happy and healthy baby.  We asked a lot of questions about the foods we were about to introduce.  He can start having up to 8 oz. of water a day!  I was surprised at that.  She said he could be eating table food as soon as 9-10 mo. old.  I am still nursing as his primary source of nutrition but will try green vegetables first!  We are excited.  One thing the ped was alarmed about was his lack of naps.  Over the holidays his schedule was a bit off and I was up more often, but as far as naps during the day I always said he sleeps good at night.  She recommended a nap in the am and again in the afternoon.  I am thinking, whoa!!!  Well, he must have heard her because the following days he was taking text book naps!!!  He was still up a bit at night but at least we were both resting during the day.  Now he sleeps about 2.5 hours at 10 am and 1-1.5 hours at about 3 pm ish.  Yehaee!!

Tank likes to practice sitting up and playing with his toys.  He especially likes the Nascar race track with a spinning roadway, lights and music.  He continues to roll and roll and just recently is up on all fours!!!  He just started rocking back and forth on all fours as of 1/27/11.

We are only in the middle of 6 mo. so I'll keep you posted:)
