Happy Birthday My Baby!

November 8 seemed to be just an average Monday for most of you Americans and Ex-pats out there (hi Ali!). But for us - it was Kaleb's 1/2 birthday! 6 Months Already! It is hard to believe that half of a year has passed since that sunny morning in May when Mr. Kaleb first laid eyes on us and probably wondered, ' are those two seriously my parents ? ' . Wow.

So - we of course get to celebrate with none other than... a 6 month check up and .... shots! Kaleb has a wonderful Doctor Lady who gives him checkups and gives us advice. He is healthy as a horse of course, minus a little garden variety eczema. As you already know, he is HUGE. Lukily, still on the growth chart. But barely.

His official stats are....

Height: 28.5 inches - 95%
Weight: 20lb 3oz (WHAT!?)- 90%

Head: ?? 90%

Kaleb loves the doctor. Well, he at least loves the mirror on the wall and the infamous crinkly paper. All you parents know what I'm talking about.
He loves to kick uncontrollably when he's mostly naked. Don't you??

He always does great during his exams and lets the doctor listen in silence. And I can't believe it. But it's true. He got 2 shots and literally DID NOT BLINK AN EYE! Chris was playing with him using his favorite little elephant toy, and the shots went in and there was not a reaction out of the kid! He was silent.
yup, we have the coolest kid around.

We think we'll keep him.

Oh - and solid foods have started...so far Yams are the hit of the parade.
