Easton's 6 month doctor appointment

We visited the doctor yesterday for Easton's 6 month appointment. He weighed 19.02 lbs and was 28.5 inches tall. His weight is averaging out for his age, but his height is still off of the percentage chart. I guess he gets his height from one of his grandfathers because it definitely doesn't come from Jason or me :-)

Easton has hit all of the milestones - he is rolling around easily, is interested in and eating solid foods and has begun rocking back and forth on his knees in an attempt to crawl. He can move backwards, just not forwards quite yet. The only area of concern was that he doesn't sit up on his own. He can sit up when placed in position, he just seems to prefer his back or belly. The doctor said since all of his other motor skills are on target then there is no need to worry at this point, but that we should encourage him to sit as often as possible.



Easton also got some shots, which I swear is harder on me than it is him. He cried for less than a minute then seemed to forget the whole ordeal even happened. He's such a little trooper!

I forgot to take my camera, but I did manage to snap a photo with my phone. We had a long wait (imagine that - a long wait at a doctor's office!) so I set up an area for Easton to play on the floor. Here he is - doesn't it look like he is waving? :-)
