6 month report

Cool Pickles, originally uploaded by Shannon Marye.

Link at 6 months only weighs in at 20 lbs. He is dropping from 100% to 95% in height and weight. However, head size is still off the charts. Doc says as long as it curves on the chart and doesn't go straight up it is ok.
As far as skills, Link has figured out how to shake his head in the "no" way although he does not mean "no" he just likes the way it feels. He also likes to stomp his feet and slap his hands on the table and watch them rotate at the wrists and ankles.
He eats an ice cube tray full of food a day. He puckers at strawberries and tomatoes, but can eat a dill pickle without flinching. He loves to put the spoon in his own mouth.
He nurses, sleeps, and diapers 4-5 times a day and sleeps a strong 7 hours. We are no longer co-sleeping as much. We put him on the guest bed. I have been sleeping better since then. We did have one bad night last week were we had to drive around in the car at 2:30 am to stop the screaming.
Link loves singing and snapping and toys.
He LOVES the cats and will smile, laugh, and grab every time they are near. He sits up most of the time to play on his mat. He never really figured out how to roll continually while lying down, but he has figured out how to go from a sit to his belly to reach for a toy too far away. I think I see him trying to figure out how to scoot with his legs, but it hasn't happened yet.
Link has gotten a little scared around others, even grandma and grandpa, but for the most part he is still full of smiles. He loves being tickled in the neck, belly and back.
