On March 24th Dylan (aka Little Buddy, El Guapo, Dylan McVillian) turned 6 months old. Over the last two months Dylan has unfortunately had RSV twice and two ear infections, but as of yesterday at his Wellness visit, he was given a clean bill of health. Good job, Dylan! We were all very excited. His lungs finally sound clear and even though he's still playing with his ears, the pediatrician assured me that his ear infection is gone. Dylan's weight dropped a little, down to 50%, because he hasn't been eating well while he's been sick, but he still gained weight since his 4 month check up which is most important. We just have to try and get him back up to the 75% for weight by his 9 month appointment (do to Dylan being in the 90% for height, the doctor wants to see his weight a little higher). This shouldn't be hard to do now that Dylan has been given the ok to eat fruits and veggies upto three times a day. We've been trying out jarred bananas and carrots and have had a few funny looks from Dylan, but I'm sure he'll get use to it the more he starts eating solids.13 things Dylan loves at 6 months (in no particular order):
1) Laying on his back, grabbing his toes and rocking from side-to-side.

2) Watching his big sister's every move and smiling at her whenever she says "hey little buddy".
3) Making buzzers with his lips to spray formula, rice cereal and antibiotic (when he was on two of them) all over and then smiling and laughing.
4) Going for walks to the park and just being outside.
5) Snuggling with his silk blankie and nuzzling is face in his blankie (it's so cute to watch).
6) Taking baths and kicking his legs in the water (Dylan gets a nightly bath and from his first bath until last night's bath he still has never been fussy nor shed a tear in the tub. He's all smiles and loves to kick and splash in the water).
7) Standing and jumping in his Exersaucer. Sometimes Dylan jumps so hard for so long that it sounds like he's going to break the jumper.
8) Smiling and talking
9) Chewing the head of his rubber giraffe. Poor Giraffe. Dylan gets so into chewing his giraffe that it makes us laugh and he's even warn off some of the Giraffe's painted spots (good thing it wasn't made in China).
10) Practicing sitting up and holding onto larger toys for balance.
11) Grabbing food off mom and dad's plate while sitting on our laps at dinner. One night I didn't notice that Dylan had grabbed a big piece of lettuce off my plate. Luckily Ava and Dad were quick to let me know Dylan was putting in his mouth.
12) Jumping on your lap while standing up and holding your hands.
13) Playing peek-a-boo.

Yeah!! Glad Dylan has been given a clean bill of health. Don't be surprised if he continues to pull on his ears. After Mya had a double ear infection and RSV, she continued to pull and still does today. I keep taking her in and they keep telling me she's fine. Mya does it more when she's tired than any other time. Glad you had a fun day today in the snow!
I missed this post, Kel! I'm glad that Dylan is feeling better. He looks happy as a clam! Good job on all of your 13 milestones, Dylan! You are becoming such a big boy.
