6 Month Well Visit

Will had his 6 month well visit today. He weighed in at 17 lbs 9oz (39th percentile) and 26.25" (only 30th percentile). His doctor thinks the nurse measured incorrectly either this time or at the last visit because he only grew 1/4" since his 4 month visit. Based on how his clothes fit, we know that isn't the case. Otherwise, he is in great shape. His one tooth has broken the surface (no pics yet) and she thought she could feel some swelling on the other side. He can sit and play for long periods of time, can move from a sitting to a crawling position, and rocks in the crawling position. He also "crawls" backwards which is very common. This afternoon, Phil and I watched him take his first forward "crawl step." He moved one arm forward and one leg forward but then got tired and plopped down. He'll probably be moving across the room before we know it!
