Dez went in for his six month appointment today! (Is is weird that I'm already thinking about what to do for his birthday?) All went well as usual. He did have a cold for the past week but the doctor checked out his lungs and ears, etc, and he is doing just fine. He's definitely a little calorie burner. Not a big amount of growing since his last appointment. Weight is 16 lbs and height is 26.25". We're starting to experiment with some soft finger foods (he loves yogurt melts!), so hopefully that will get some more calories in him. He can now sit on his own without toppling over very often. He's also starting to scoot around in a circle on his belly and rock back and forth on his hands and knees. It's only a matter of time before he's cruising around getting into everything! I've managed to do a little bit of baby proofing but I know I still have much more do to. Teething continues. Hopefully his top teeth will come through BEFORE and not during our next trip to Michigan. He's been pretty cranky the past few days so I'm hoping they're coming soon.
In non-baby news:
We've run into a major home owner downer: foundation issues. After noticing many cracks in walls, corners, tiles, and sticky doors we called in someone to find out what the damage would be to have it repaired. All I can say is my heart stopped when we got the first estimate (basically the cost of a car). On top of that Drew had already started demolition on our master bathroom so we have that to finish too. But, we're not going to let that get us down. When we're done with this house it's going to look brand new!
Oh! Desmond is sleeping through the night now!!
Life is good.
