I cannot believe that Martez has been here for half a year already! Before you know it he will be looking me in the face. At his 6 month appointment, his Doctor said that he is very advanced for his age. She could not believe that he is already sitting up on his own, scooting very easily, and getting up on his hands and knees. While she was trying to check him out, he was into EVERYTHING! He was grabbing her hair, stethoscope, papers, pen, flash light, trying to scoot off the table...He just would not sit still. She said "no wonder he is crawling already...he doesn't sit still!"
Dr. Kelley said that Martez is in
perfect health (despite the terrible cold he had that day). He is short and chunky weighing in at 17.5 lbs and 26 in. long. The Dr. said that she thinks he should have a tooth coming through in the next couple of weeks.
Martez is doing very well with eating baby food. He loves every fruit and veggie that I have given him thus far. He also started eating banana flavored puffs yesterday, and he loves those too. As you can tell by looking at him, he does not miss any feedings. He is doing much better sleeping at night. This past month he is sleeping at least 6 hours a night, and we had a few 8-9 hour nights in there too. His scooting abilities have become a true talent. Yesterday I sat him up in the living room as I went to the kitchen. Not 2 minutes later I felt something at my feet. I looked down and sure enough there was little Martez on the hard tile floor. I just love them at this age!
