Zachary's 6 Month Check up

Zachary turned 6 months old on May 28th! Time sure has gone by fast and my baby is growing so big! He originally had his 6 month check up scheduled for June 3rd but we got a call from the clinic the day before and had to reschedule because of something going on with his doctor. We made it for this past Monday, June 9th, but got another call from the clinic on Friday saying that we had to reschedule again with a different provider because his doctor is now on an extended medical leave. Luckily, they were able to keep it for the same day (June 9th), but just a different time.

His appointment went very well and we have his stats! He is 27.48 inches (77.01%) long and weighs 16 lbs 14 oz (31.40%). The doctor said he's a long, skinny boy. We talked about how he's been doing with his eating and also a few other things. I was so proud of how he sat up by himself for the whole 40 minute appointment and the doctor was impressed with his core strength. That's why she wasn't too worried about the fact that he's not interested in crawling at all. He could crawl if he really wanted to, but he doesn't. He would rather stand and try to walk while holding our hands.

Here is more about Zachary at 6 months:


He currently has 4 teeth and is really close to cutting his 5th and 6th. His teeth are dangerous and nothing is safe anymore. I have been bitten many times on my arms and shoulders and hands. He will also chew on the wood kitchen table while in his booster chair. I'm trying to get him out of that habit. He also uses them to eat Cheerios.

His favorite foods are Milk, banana oatmeal and egg yolks, but he loves anything we give him!


He LOVES his dogs, Oscar and Sadie.

Let's not forget his Taggie Dog that he got from his Aunt Angelique!

His favorite things to play with are books, his phone (an old cell phone with battery removed), and his Fisher Price stacking rings( I call them his giant froot loops).

You will most often find him sitting up because he is really good at it!

But, his favorite thing to do is stand and try to walk! I kind of hope he's not an early walker like I was...
