6 month portraits

After Liam's 6 month checkup this morning, we went to get his picture taken to mark his "half" birthday. I wasn't expecting too much, given he had just received 4 shots, but I think he did very well! He checked out OK at his appointment...18 lbs 11 oz, (70th percentile...the kid likes to eat!) and he was in the 43rd percentile for his height (sorry...no tall genes from mom or dad) and 69th for head circumference (big brain!!!).

He did, however, have a slight "click" in his hips. His pediatrician said that nine times out of ten it's nothing, but just to be sure, she scheduled some x-rays of his hips at Egleston. Even if there is something wrong, the treatment is apparently not that bad...basically a really tight diaper for 4 weeks to tighten things up. We'll go in on Monday for the x-rays...we'll see how he does!

So anyway, here are the portraits. He was a dream, you'd never know his chubby little thighs were covered in band-aids! Oh! And he finally rolled from his back to his belly this morning! Yay! He's been rolling from belly to back for a few weeks now, but he was lying on the bed next to me this morning and was trying his hardest to reach for me and *poof* it just happened! James was on the phone, so he got to share the excitement...but I'm so glad I got to share that little victory with him.

Liam is the man! He's a stud just like his "Mr. ABAC" father.
