2005


Six months old now! I had my checkup on December 7. I weighed 16 pounds, 13 ounces (which puts me in the 50%) and was 27 ½ inches long (90%).
I’m gaining much more control of my body. I still love tummy time, but can also sit up now. My new favorite position is “flying” when I lay on my tummy and lift up my legs and stretch out my arms. Of special note regarding these three pictures – they were taken at 1 in the morning when I should have been sleeping. Not looking too sleepy there, huh?

I’m also getting good at moving around in my walker now.

Then there are those times that I don’t feel particularly mobile at all. This first trek out to see the snow proved a little limiting. Dad put me in the stroller while he played with Evan a little. I really couldn’t do much of anything. Heck, I could barely see, much less move!

Still, even a little romp in the snow can wear a person out…

Then a new day comes along, and I’m ready for action again. Of course, Evan and I might need a few more pieces of clothes on before we can play in the snow again.

Of course, the big excitement in December was my first Christmas. Here are a couple photos of me with Christmas presents. You can also check out several different pages for Christmas 2005:

a special version of Clement C. Moore’s classic Christmas poem ’Twas the Night Before Christmas’ as presented by photos of my brother Evan and me
