6 Months

Oh my how he's growing! At his 6 month check-up, the doctor said he was completely rid of the RSV and right on track for everything. He got three shots, and took them like a champ, only crying a little. He weighed 21 pounds and was almost 28 inches long! I'm not sure what percentile he's in, but he's big! Last night we took him to his first rodeo and he loved it! He watched the horses and bulls with big eyes, and when we tried to get his attention he totally ignored us! I was worried that it would throw off his sleeping, but I got him to bed by 10:30 and he slept til 8:00! Everyone loves him and thinks he is the cutest thing. His mommy and daddy sure do love him!

5 Months

Skeet's growing like a weed! Right around the time he turned 5 months, he started getting congested. I took him in and they gave me decongestant drops. That was a Wednesday; by Sunday his eyes were red-rimmed, his nose was running, and he was coughing. I took him in on Monday, and sure enough, he had RSV. We started breathing treatments right away, and by Wednesday he was much better. After two weeks of treatments he was back to his normal happy self. A week after he was diagnosed, he hit milestone after milestone. He officially sat up without support, drank from a sippy cup, ate a cracker, and found his feet, all in one week. The following week he started rocking on his hands and knees, and trying to lurch forward. He's going to be crawling before we know it! He still sleeps all night, which is a blessing. We finally get some sleep!
