A Very Merry Half Birthday to me!

Hi! My name is Timothy Clyde Evans and I am 6 MONTHS old today!

Stats:
Yesterday at my WIC appointment, they measured me-

Weight- 18lbs 11oz (I have gained 10lbs, 10oz since birth!)
Height- 27 ¾ in. (although mom thinks I'm taller)
Head- 18cm (I know... big head!)

New Things:

  1. I can roll over from my back to my tummy.

  2. I can sit up for a little while on my own (see picture).

  3. I have two bottom TEETH! (but I don't bite mom!)

  4. I can turn around on my tummy and go places by rolling and pushing backwards

  5. I can find, grab, and put things in mouth all by myself (this comes in handy when I am in my crib and I want my pacifier)

Things I like:

  1. I like to be outside! When I am sad, the fresh air calms me down.

  2. I like my bath! I am learning how to splash, and mom even lets me suck on my washcloth- Yum!

  3. I like to roll over when mom or dad is trying to dress me! Heehee

  4. I like to sing along with mom when she rocks me.

  5. I like to play the noise game with daddy! (I screech as high as I can and daddy rumbles as low as he can... then we meet in the middle!)

Things I DON'T like:

  1. I don't like being left alone for too long...

  2. I don't like the oatmeal cereal that mom keeps trying to feed me.

  3. I REALLY don't like the blue snot sucker my mom uses on my nose.

  4. I don't like rolling over in my crib and getting stuck against the bumper.

Things mom and dad love about me:

  1. my smile (and my cute pouty face)

  2. my laugh

  3. all the things that I like about me... except #3 (see above)

  4. that I am growing healthy and strong

  5. that I am learning new things everyday and getting better at things I can already do

Nicknames:

  1. Timmy

  2. Buster

  3. Buster Brown

  4. Mister

  5. Buddy

Teeth!?!

Well, Timothy has officially started cutting his first teeth. Yesterday the bottom left one appeared and today the bottom right has kind of started peeking up. He has not been terribly fussy or feverish, lucky for us! However, nursing him is now something that I fear a little bit... we'll see how he does as far as NOT biting me!
Pictures will come as soon as I locate my camera!
