Six Months, One Week

This morning Charlie had his six month check up and received his six month vaccines.  He is doing great!  His head is 16.75 inches - still in the 25%.  His weight is 18 pounds, 3 ounces - in the 75%. And Charlie is 28 inches tall - in the 99%.  It's amazing that, according to these measurements, Charlie has a little head and big body because he looks so proportional to us.  The doctor was pleased with what and how he eats and with how happy he is.  Marc and I (and everyone who has helped us thus far!) have done a very good job, according to Dr. Baker.

Charlie started day care on Monday and has really taken to it.  It's a fun place with music, lots of toys and new babies to meet.  It's the perfect place for a social baby  like Charlie.  And they have a webcam so Marc and I can watch him all day long. He did come home with a runny nose, but according to the doctor we shouldn't worry unless it changes colors or is accompanied by a fever.

He is having a problem with his naps.  Charlie sleeps best in someone's arms.  When being held, he can get in two good two-hour naps a day.  Now, he is getting 3 30-minute naps.  He will gradually get better, but for now we have a cranky baby when we get home!
