6 and 1/2 month update:

Deagan had his check up yesterday. Started off with head circumference and length, then got the weight. I posted the percentiles on Facebook, but I did some research and realized that I used a really generic calculator and found one specifically for ages 0-3 years. Here's the stats:

Weight: 15lb. and 13oz. - 37th percentile
Height: 28in. - 97th percentile (Dude is TALL!)
Head: 42cm. - 26th percentile

We had a good rest of the day hanging out. He got two more immunizations so he was pretty needy all day. So the dishes and laundry did not get done. Today Bobby was off with him and they had a good boys day. When I got home from work I was greeted in the driveway with Deagan on Bobby's shoulders. We had a good laugh at the shadow, lol. It was SO funny, Bobby looked exceptionally tall (well, taller than he already is at 6'5") and then Deagan's tiny head poking up from Bobby's head.

I found out Deagan's food limit today. We were concerned that his weight was still pretty low, we figured he'd be caught up by now so I decided to feed him until he stopped opening his mouth. FYI--- NOT a smart idea. So he had a full container of carrots and applesauce, and he still seemed like he could eat more. So I pulled out a veggie blend and started with that. We got the last bite of that one in and I was just telling Deagan what I big boy he was eating so much food. And then it ALL came back up!!! Carrots and all. It really scared me at first, but I calmed down when he looked at me and smiled. So for future reference... Two 3.5oz containers of food is enough for my little man for now. We both needed a bath tonight. Lol.

Oh and he's learned to vibrate his tongue on the roof of his mouth. I have a video of it. As soon as I upload it and figure out how to post it I'll get it up here. It SOOO cute!
