Happy 1/2 Birthday to Peter!Peter had his 6 month checkup yesterday and the doctor said (and I quote) . . . "he's just perfect" We, of course, agree . . . but, it is nice to get validation from a medical professional :) Peter now weighs 13 lbs, 6 oz and is 24 1/2" tall. He is still not quite on the growth charts for his actual age, except for head circumference (yay for the 2nd percentile!). What can I say? The kid has a big noggin! On the preemie growth chart (which he will be assessed on until he is 2) he is in the 55th percentile for weight, 95th percentile for length and 98th percentile for head circumference. Peter also had his follow-up appointment with Early On this past week. For the most part he is meeting milestones that a 7 month old should be attaining (except for rolling over - which he can do, he just won't . . . . we know this because we put him down for a nap on his back/tummy and return to find him on the opposite side . . . . he's just stubborn!) OK, that's enough rambling about our magnificent little man . . .
We woke up early this morning to make our first road trip with Peter . . . we drove to Watseka (Mommy's hometown). We'll be here for the Thanksgiving holiday . . . we surprised Grandma & Grandpa a day early . . . needless to say, they were pleased . . . more pictures from Peter's first adventure later this week!
Peter LOVES to stand up . . . he can stand while just holding our fingers . . . and, he is starting to figure out the motion of walking . . .
Fun Times!
