So Eoin has reached the half year mark already! We can't quite believe it. Unfortunately it was marked by a trip to the doctors for his six month check up and shots which made him feel a little unwell this evening but he is doing ok now with some Tylenol in him. (Update - well the night was pretty bad. Eoin cried through the whole night and this morning had a fever of 103.6 so took him to the doctor. His left leg was really swollen and super hot so looks like he had a nasty reaction to his shots. But after some more painkillers and a couple of cool baths he is doing better and hopefully we will all get some sleep tonight!).
So what milestones has Eoin reached - well he is 22.2lbs and 29 inches long (99% for weight and off the chart for height). He is wearing 12-18 month clothes (or if they are English clothes 9-12 months)
He is rolling over both ways and almost sitting up. He has fully discovered his toes and is in the process of discovering his hair which he likes to hold while falling asleep. Eating solids started some weeks ago but Eoin is now an accomplished eater of fruit and vegs and a little chicken.
He was sleeping through the night until the teething started but those pesky bottom teeth are taking their time - we can see them right there; two big bumps but they just won't break through his gums.
We still go to baby and mommy group once or twice a week and we have started a music class too. Eoin loves to hang out at the park with his friends and play on the swings and he has also taken a huge liking to walks in the Baby Bjorn (but Mommy's back doesn't hold up too well to a 22lb baby kicking in joy while out for a walk). Eoin's new favorite activity seems to be swimming! He just loves the pool and splashing and kicking.
Well the next few weeks will see some big events - we are going to Orlando on vacation with friends from England and just after we get back we get to go to court to finalize Eoin's adoption!
