"Scrawny" Chase

So we went to Chase's 6 month Well baby cHeck-up and shots routine and the Doctor said that Chase was "Scrawny!" Yep. Scrawny. Poor guy! He weighs 15 pounds and is 26.5 inches long. That's 50%tile for height and 10%tile for weight! Maybe if I paid more attention to what goes into HIS mouth than MINE our roles would be reversed. He is just such a fickle eater, getting distracted By siblings and every little noise that comes along, he pulls away and then I oftentimes forget to feed him more. I am starving my child!! (And people wonder why we don't get a cute puppy for our kids to play with...I can barely keep my own CHILDREN alive, let alone a dog!)

Ok, its really not that bad. The doctor did give me two new cans of baby formula to "top him off" with after nursing. Nice. Those cans are expensive! Thanks, doc.:) Chase is getting the eating/chewing thing down now finally. He would just push the food out with his tongue. But he enjoys his rice cereal, squash, sweet potatoes, LOVES pears and applesauce, and the occasional yogurt.

Chase started pulling himself around. The process goes something like this: he first is sitting up and then goes down on his tummy, then up to hands and knees, pulls up to his tippy toes and hands, twists is hips from side to side, then ends up back on his tummy and grabs at the floor to lurch himself forward at an object he wants. He's pretty funny. And he's such a blondy, the other 2 were a lot darker than he is!
