Happy 1/2 Birthday Bubeaner!!!

UPDATE:
Bubeaner is currently getting his beauty sleep in preparation for our little adventure tomorrow (March for Babies).  He was pretty fussy this afternoon after his doctor's appointment wanting to be held only by Mommy.  We imagine it's a side effect of the round of shots he received. 

Some stats from the appointment:
  • 24" length (32% - up from 30%)  Although at the GI doctor's office, he measured at 25" so who knows which one is correct.
  • 12.5 lbs (15% - down from 30%)  The doctor is not concerned.
  • 17.25" head (95% - up from 80%)  Yes a big head, but then again have you seen his parents?
Dr. Z has also started us on rice cereal.  Right now it's not for nutritive purposes just to get him used to eating solid foods.  She also figured out John's major frustration with tummy time.  He has more lower body strength and accidentally pushes himself face down when he tries to practice crawling.  Dr. Z gave us some tips that should help with this.

ORIGINAL POST:
Six months ago, Bubeaner graced this world with his presence (sans the Mommy).  

Today's activities?  A doctor's appointment for his well-child check up.  Now that I think about it, that is a pretty bad way to celebrate milestones your first year of life.  Hey, you are born; here's your shot, IV and C-PAP.  Oh, two months now?  Here are some more shots.  Ah, half-way there?  You get a whole bunch more shots and no cake because of your food allergies.

I just love his chubby little feet!

But we intend to celebrate anyways with pictures and making an imprint of his hands on plaster.  And, of course, LOTS of LOVING!

Bubeaner also gets a Daddy that comes home early today.  Unfortunately, Matt won't be able to hold him because he is getting his second steroid epidural shot today (let's hope this one works).  But it will be nice to enjoy some family time today.
