Luke turned 6 months last Friday, and today he had his 6 month check up.
Poor little guy had to get 3 shots. But, as always, he puts on a brave face, sheds just a few tears and then is easily bribed back to smiles with something to put into his mouth. Today, the bribe came in the form of a grape flavoured tongue depressor, courtesy of our new pediatrician, Dr Church!
He of course has grown a lot.

6 MONTHS:
Weight: 19lbs 13oz (9kg)
Height: 27.25 inches (69.2cm)
We have no small boy. However, despite his constant impressive growth, Jake was pretty disappointed when I called him to tell him that Luke wasn't yet 20lbs. Jake was sure that he would be at least that, and now he thinks Luke is slacking off in the growth department. LOL... Jake I think is hoping to have record breakingly large sumo baby.
Unfortunately the 6 month milestone didn't come with only good health and growth. Luke got his first cold around a week ago, and as a result, now has his first ear infection too. His cold has since cleared up, but I have noticed him tugging on his ears for the last few days, as well as being more fussy than usual when we lay him down, and he has also not been as willing to drink his bottle. I suspected it was an ear infection as those are some very typical signs, so I had them check today, and the little guy does in fact have an infection in the left ear, with the start of another one in the right. Fortunately we have caught it early, so it hasn't bothered him too much yet, and with a dose of antibiotics he should be back to great health in no time at all.
Luke has also now officially started to sit unsupported. He has been doing it for a little while already, but he has really started to get the hang of it, and keep his balance well in about the last week. So, 6 months really has been quite eventful for our little man. He now loves to sit in the tub and play with containers and toys and splash extra hard so mommy and daddy get nice and wet. He is growing so fast.
Who can believe that this is the same little boy?

Ear infections are no fun at all, glad you got it all figured out before it got really bad. What a big boy! But we already knew that...just look how buff your arms are :)
You definately having a solid little boy there. James, who is 23 months old only weighs 21 lbs, but then he is small for his age. Hope that Luke is better soon!
Now I found you! What a cute blog! I love the pics of Luke and the pumpkin! By the way, the paint color is Bleeker Beige. And there is a code (HC-80) on the can. Hope that helps! We still on for tomorrow? I will probably just bring Brent during naptime (10ish) and put him down at your place.
