A Very Merry Half Birthday To You!

Graham is now 6 months old! Halfway to one year... how time flies! We can't believe how big he's gotten in just that short period of time.

At his six-month check-up, he weighed in at a slight 16 lbs 11 oz (25-50th percentile), logged a 17" noggin' (50-75th percentile) and measured 27" (75th percentile). Long and lean!!!... which neither Lorri nor I can explain. :) No matter... the doctor thought all was progressing smoothly and, despite a lack of "Ba"s and "Da"s in his vocabulary, was happy with his mental growth as well.

Graham has definitely been improving in several "baby categories" such as rolling (he rolled from back to front during our Thanksgiving trip, though still does it infrequently) and eating (you should see the concoctions that Mom is feeding a happy Graham now... even DAD hasn't had papaya!). Graham is doing a much better job at sitting on his own, though he can't get himself into that position yet. (His "crunches" are pretty impressive, though!)

Here are some of the latest looks at our ever-heavier and louder bundle of joy!
