Jaxson had his 6 month old checkup on Friday, July 30, 2010. Unfortunately, he had to get 3 more shots and he was not happy about it! He needed lots of hugs and kisses afterwards and I was happy to give them! He weighed 16 pounds and is 26 ¼ inches long- 50th percentile for height and weight. Dr. Kahn did the routine- pulled him up to a sitting position to test his neck strength, flipped him over on his belly to check neck strength again, checked all of his joints and listened to his heart/chest. When Dr. Kahn flipped him over to his belly, he was pleasantly surprised to see Jaxson pop up on hands and knees and try to crawl- in a very shocked excited voice Dr. Kahn said “he’s so advanced, trying to crawl so early!” I was one proud moma. I already knew he was advanced….because he’s so perfect anyway! :) Anyway, we can move up to stage 2 foods and start 5-6 ounces of juice now. He is still in 3-6 or 6 months clothes. I can’t wait for his 6 month pictures on Saturday…I hope the heat holds off a little since we will be outside! I have moved into the planning stage of Jaxson’s 1st birthday- I have decided on a “Milk & Cookies” theme. I’m so excited about it and found the cutest ideas on another blog! I will probably have to make/create the invitations myself so I’m going to start working on those soon to see how they turn out. I also found an idea for a “Time Capsule” that you fill with lots of things from their first year of life and they get to open it when they turn 18! I’m so excited about that too…I love little things like that! Hopefully the time capsule won’t get misplaced before he turns 18…
Saturday morning Jaxson woke up with a little fever but I assumed it was from the shots and would go away pretty quickly with a little bit of Tylenol…WRONG…he had the fever off and on until Sunday night :( He was 1 unhappy boy all weekend which means everyone was unhappy. He hardly slept at all Saturday night which was not good for Mommy or Daddy. He had a lot of company (Wa-Wa and PawPaw drove up and left all on the same day=6 hours of traveling!) but wasn’t in the playing mood. I had hoped to get some cute pictures of him to post but that didn't quite happen this weekend.
He was all smiles this morning when he woke up so I’m hoping the fever is gone for good. Max and Nana Shaff stayed with him today so I could work (I pretty much had to twist their arms to get them to come stay with him..haha). I’m hoping to go home to a happy baby boy today…1 thing is for certain…we will NOT be playing outside anytime soon with the temperature pushing a 100 degrees and heat index anywhere from 104-110! NO THANKS, we like the air conditioner at our house!
