well, i was actually 1/2 old a few days ago, but today was my 6 month check-up. i weighed 18 pounds. all the nurses & the doctor commented on how happy & active i am. i was jumping so much that dr. buttler had to hand me over to his medical student so that he could talk to mommy & daddy! they gave me several vaccines & told me our next appointment will be at 9 months. also, mommy & daddy were relieved that the doctor checked my ears, nose & mouth -- he says i just have a little cold & it should get better in a few days.
