6 Months Old!

In a little over half an hour, it will be 6 months since Raleigh was born.  We can't believe how time has flown by.  This month, Raleigh started saying vowels (ba-ba-ba) and tasted his first solid foods (he gnawed on some carrot sticks and ate a little mashed up banana).  He's lifted up on his arms, and lifted up on his knees, and as of today, lifted up on both and raised his chest and belly off the floor at the same time.  Crawling is coming along, ready or not.  Tonight he was dad's good luck charm, as the Cardinals won game 1 of the World Series.

He looked great at his 6-month check-up, but his tear ducts still appear to be blocked, so the pediatrician recommended we see an eye doctor.  Raleigh is right on the middle of the growth curve for weight and height, but he remains at the "head" of his class in cranial capacity.

Weight: 17 lb, 10 oz (54th percentile)
Height: 26.5"       (55th percentile)
Head:   18.1"       (96th percentile)
