Benny Boy's six month stats

He is doing it.  He is growing up right before my eyes. He is now officially twice as old as he was three months ago! I reported most of his milestones in the last post called "milestones"  so today I will give you some stats and a brief story.  He is 26.5 inches long which puts him in the 52 percentile. He is 17.5 pounds - 46 percentile, and his head is in the 83rd percentile measuring 17.75 inches around.  So a few months ago-- he was more like his dad -- tall and thinner. Now he is more like his mom- a big head. My final guess is though, that he will be more like his dad. He yelped once for his shots this morning. ONCE.  I think I would have made much more of a scene of three needles going into my thigh at that age.

Now let me think of a story..... hmmmm..... OK so there I was, trying as hard as I could to be the favorite mom (enter stage left grandma Clarke). Then Ben's hands reaching to her, gma snatches him from my clutches without so much as a glance back for his mother. And so I'll end this sad tale by saying... It was the best of times it was the worst of times it was the age of moms it was the age of grandmas.  The end

Love,

Summer

ps Becca is having a baby girl in May, Leisha is having a baby boy in August and Cami is having a baby girl in August-- Ben can't wait for his new cousins!
