Marco is 6 months old!
Where did the time go? I say this every time but I just can't believe how fast it goes by. I was also looking at old videos of Bella and can't believe that was so long ago already.
They both had their ped appt last week and they did great. Bella loved answering the development questionnaire and asked for more questions. When the dr came, she only shied away once when she was asked to say ahhhhh. But I was able to get her to do it later. The dr asked if she knew all her colors, letters, and numbers. Rich and I both said, yes, in English and Spanish! Bella is 32 lbs (24%) and 36 inches (65%).
Marco was a flirt. The dr was very happy with him and said he's an easy baby. He's 18 lbs 6 oz (90 something %), 27 inches (90 something %), and 18" around his head (99%). She said we can go ahead and start giving him meat, which Rich was so happy to hear.
I am so glad that Rich was able to come b/c they both got shots and it would have been so hard to console them both. Overall, it was a great appointment.
At 6 months, Marco can now:
He has been eating solids for a month and he eats a lot!! He eats 3x a day and when I make his meals, I can't believe that all fits in him! It's a whole bowl of food!
We are so happy he can get his own binky. I stopped swaddling him earlier this week and he's been doing great. At first, he would cry when he woke in the night, but I think he figured out that he can get his own binky. The first night, I watched him on the monitor and was cheering him on, "Your binky is right there. Get it. Get it. Get it. Come on. You can do it. Yes!!" He's been sleeping great ever since. We have been so blessed with two easy sleepers!
I love how he can laugh so hard, just like Bella did. He does these big belly laughs, esp. when he is surprised (like peek-a-boo). He smiles so easily. His big sister Bella loves him so much and says it all the time.
Bella turned 3 this month too. Where did the time go? I cut her hair just after Christmas and I must say, I did great! I will post pics later. I took some really cute pics of her for her 3 yr portraits. She looks so grown up!

At 6 months, Marco can now:
- Sit up independently
- Roll both ways
- Get his own binky and put it in his mouth (YAY!)
- Smack his lips
