"Good girl"

Thomas' laughs are infectious. He laughs at really silly things, not all of them appropriate, but today he laughed at something I said. Greta did something that I responded to with "good girl". He laughed like it was the most hysterical thing he had ever heard. Of course, I then had to continue saying "good girl" over and over again to his continued laughs. Poor Greta. I think it probably confused her a bit.

Check-up: six months

Today I took Thomas to his six month well-baby appointment.
His stats are as follows:

weight - 18 pounds, 11 ounces
length - 27-1/2"

The pediatrician said he looks good and is doing great. He has a healthy appetite and likes all the vegetables and fruits he has tried with the exception of some butternut squash I baked for him last week.

My sanity returns! He has been sleeping through the night -- of the last 8 nights, he has slept through the entire night 5 times. Yep, the whole 12 hours solid. The nights when he does wake is usually around 4 or 5am for a quick feeding and then he's back in his crib fast asleep. I've noticed that even this early morning feeding is occuring later all the time so it looks like we may soon have a baby that sleeps all night every night.
