Time flies! Davin is 6 months old today and I cannot believe it. He has changed so much and continues to amaze us everyday. We are so blessed!
We took him in for his 6 month checkup on Wednesday and here is a recap of his growth from birth to current:
10/24/08 11/10/08 12/19/08 2/20/09 4/22/09
Birth 2 Month 4 Month 6 Month

Length: 20" 20 3/4" 22 1/2" 24 3/4" 25 3/4"
% ? 25% 50% 25%
He is so small! We have been feeding him cereal and other "solids" twice a day, since he was 4 months old and he is still nursing all the time. We were shocked when the pediatrician told us he was in the 4% for his weight, utterly shocked. Obviously he is going to be a little boy - good thing I have suspenders to help hold his pants up! Lol! We asked the pediatrician if he was concerned about his weight and he said no (phew!) but just to keep feeding him solids and up it to 3 times a day. So we are doing our best to make that happen and let me tell you - the lunch feeding is the hardest one! Not because he won't eat, but because I have to stop everything and work my schedule around his eating even more than usual. Its crazy, but we want to make sure D gets all the food he needs to keep him growing strong.
Its amazing. Everyday Tav and I say how cute he is and how much we love him, but words really cannot express how much he has changed our lives. We certainly have our moments of "what did we get ourselves into" when he won't stop crying or fussing, but in the end we wouldn't wish our life was any other way. Davin has been such a wonderful gift to us and we are so thankful everyday for him. We are so lucky to be able to share him with our friends and family and are VERY proud parents. We love you D.
