Big Baby Lennon

I forgot to post that last tuesday we took Lennon to his 6 month check up.  He weighed in at a whopping 19 lbs and 4 oz!  Not quite as big as his cousin Jackson, who at only 5 months has already past the 20 lb mark, but still in about the 85-90 % for weight and bigger than Reagan his other adorable cousin.  He was 27 inches long and that is in the same percentile.  Our doctor said he looked great and was happy to hear he was sleeping through the night now.  Even though I said recently that I didn't think he was quite ready for food, he has proved me wrong.  Every night now before bed he has some dinner with his nightly nursing.  He has tried green beans, peas, butternut squash, bananas, prunes and avocado.  His favorite is definitely prunes.  And it's actually been so much easier to make my own baby food than I thought it would be.  And definitely much cheaper for us which is nice.  Mia continues to adore her little brother and is always best at getting his most fabulous smiles and deep belly laughs.  Shelby is deeply entrenched in the new semester now and we are missing him.  We usually take him down to the train station in the morning now though after we drop Mia at kindergarten, so we get a few extra minutes with him each morning.  He is great and almost always gets up with the kids when they wake up before the sun comes up and lets me sleep a little longer.  There's a nasty flu going around, but so far we've all been lucky enough not to catch it.  We're all doing great and enjoying our lives up here in chilly Boston, MA.  (Shelby is really excited thinking the Giants are going to win the superbowl and he just jumped up to cheer and accidentally punched himself in the nose. he he)
