Josiah - where did the 6 months go so fast???

Josiah had his 6-month doctor's appointment on July 30th, and is still a tiny little man at 12 lbs 2 oz and 23.75 inches long.  He has not even gotten onto the growth curve yet (still under the 0% percentile) but is healthy and Dr. Williams is really happy with his progress.  She was impressed at how quickly he rolled onto his back when she put him on his tummy (a trick he learned to do in the middle of the night and that Mommy and Daddy (jokingly) wish he could NOT do!) 

He is not quite as happy of a baby all the time as he used to be, but the doctor thinks his bottom two teeth are going to come in soon and that is quite painful for little babies, so we are going to blame it on that and hope it passes soon!  For the most part, he is still a very good baby, he just has some more fussy time in the evening than he used to (which might also be a result of Mommy going back to work and him just needing some more attention and time in the evenings with Mommy and Daddy).  The hardest part with teething is that we can't use Motrin with him until he is 6 months old corrected age (so 8 months old actual age) since it would be too hard on his tummy right now.  So hope those teeth make their appearance soon and give him some relief (and then, that he learns to nurse without biting!)

Here are some photos of our little man!
