6 month checkup

Hunter had his 6 month checkup today with Dr. Terwelp. He weighed in a 16 lbs, 3 oz - which was in the 25th percentile - and is 25" long - the 5th percentile. He has grown 6 inches since he was born! He had to get a few shots, but wasn't able to get a flu shot yet as they are out of the thimerosal free shots at the moment. He'll should be able to get one in the next few weeks though. They have to split the flu shot up in to two shots for babies so he'll be getting 4 flu shots - 2 seasonal and 2 H1N1. :( He is doing great and got a clean bill of health!

Our friend Allison organized a little playgroup with some of her friends that have babies around the same age and we had our first date yesterday. The oldest baby was born on February 2nd and Hunter is the youngest at April 12th so they're all pretty close to each other. We have 4 boys and 1 girl. They just played on their tummies on the floor and had a great time looking at each other.

I tested my movie-making skills (or lack therof) by putting together a little video of Hunter's first 6 months. It was the first time I have done anything like this so I have some work to do! Here is the YouTube link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td2P0bBrRn8
