Swimming, Crawling, Growing!

Cohen's first six months have come and gone!  Life has been flying by, but luckily I have my trusty iphone to get some of it on camera!

But first... On Cohen's six month appointment he was 27 1/2 inches tall (85%) and 18.1 pounds (63%).

I know... what???? Cohen has not grown much since his 4 month appointment.  Only 1 inch longer and 1.5 pounds heavier.  He went from being in the 90% in weight, to the 63%. I did talk with his wonderful pediatrician about this and she reassured that I did not need to worry... yet.  Yes, she added on the yet, so,  my boy may look chunky and healthy... I am going to make him healthier and chunkier!!!!

We also determined at this appointment that he does have eczema and he has been suffering from infant hypnagogic myoclonus.  When I went into the Dr. I was very concerned because there had been six times when Cohen was nursing and falling asleep that he goes into very small convulsions.  Well those convulsions turned out to be hypnagogic myoclonus.  Or in other words twitching, like most people do when they are sleeping when they know they should be awake... like in class, or in church, but with Cohen instead of being large, single twitches... they were small, and numerous twitches.  Well, I liked that answer much more than the alternative!
Other than that, the appointment went well and Cohen is a beautiful, healthy, strong, baby boy!


Now, on to the fun stuff...
Cohen is a swimmer!
No not this type of swimmer (although he does enjoy this!),

This type of swimmer... a fish out of water!

Cohen is also a crawler!
Okay, not really but he is working hard on it!

(Update: he is now getting up on all four limbs and trying to move forward, only to fall and army crawl to where he wants to be.) 

Cohen is a shark!
Look at these teeth coming in!
All 4 on top are just about there, the 2 on the bottom have been around for a while and the 2 next to them are just starting to teeth, the bumps have formed!

(Another Update: Today the top four are now all through.  And the bottom two (besides the two that are already in) are now budding white... so in a few more days he will be up to 8 teeth!) 


Eating...

Cohen, unlike Arlo, LOVES food!  Since his very first bite... until now if you put food in front of his face he will eat it.  The problem is, he will eat food and not drink his bottle.  I think that is where we are going wrong with the losing weight battle.  On days where he eats 2-3 meals he will only drink around 10-12 oz of milk, on days without food it is more like 22-24 oz (right where it should be, even with food).
