Jackson is 6 months old today!!!  And as I was watching him play in his jumparoo and smile at the silly spinning frog it hit me how fast time has gone by, seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home in his tiny little outfit that was too big on him and now he is in 6 or 9 month clothes!  So off to the doctors we went and he is now 16.5 pounds (in the 25-30th percentile), he is 26 7/8" long (75th percentile) and his head is in the 60th percentile.  SO basically he is tall and lean according to the doctor, so taking after Daddy there, and he has a big head for that big brain of his, I like to think that part is Mommy, but I guess some of it comes from Daddy too!  The doctor gave us the go ahead for stage 2 foods, so he had his first taste of blueberries and apples mixed together!  I also bought some avacados to try and see if he likes it...so we shall see!  He is also got great small motor skills and passes things back and forth between his two hands (he thinks this is pretty neat and so so we), he is trying so hard to crawl but just can't coordinate everything at the same time so he spins and flops backwards a lot, and he is sitting on his own for an extended period of time as long as he has some motivation like baby einstein dvds.  Just can't believe we were in the hospital 6 months ago staring in awe at our little miracle baby, we still stare just as much but he isn't so little anymore!
