6 months

So Drake was 6 months on the 21st. He's halfway there to the big 1! At his appointment he weighed 22lbs 9 oz, and was 28 inches long. 100% for weight, and 90-95% in height, so he's a big boy all together!
We were also told when he was born, that they would like to do an ultrasound on his kidneys because of his skin tags, so we went to the hospital and did that. The sonographer said that he was a great, and that most babies cry the entire time, but he didn't! He, of course, just tried to grab the wand and help her. The test came back normal though, so there's nothing wrong with his kidneys!
Dr. Mcdaniel also said that if we want to, then he can get his skin tags taken off at 1. We could go to Children's Mercy, or KU med if we want them off before then, but he hasn't noticed them yet, and they don't bother me so I'm not in any hurry.
He has also been army crawling for about 3 weeks. It is the cutest thing, but he's also into EVERYTHING. He's such a trouble maker!

So Much has happened!

I haven't posted for quite a while. A lot has happened since then. Drake is all over the place. You may lay him on a blanket on the floor, and he is off of it within a couple of minutes. He sits up all by himself now also, which is really helpful when it comes to bath time! He also went through a little sickness with Aunt Shelbi. I took him to the doctors last Monday, and he was tested for H1N1. They called me a little later and said that it came back positive. Very scary! Since he is so young, there wasn't anything we could give him. We just had to make sure he rested a lot, and that he was drinking something at all times. His fever was gone by Wednesday, but his cough was getting worse. I took him back to the doctor on Thursday, and she said that he now had bronchitis. She gave me a breathing treatment machine and told me to do that with him 4 times a day. It has been a long week and a half, but I'm very glad he is getting better. It was hard seeing him so miserable.

At his appointment on Monday, he was 21 pounds and 27 inches. On Thursday, he was 21 pounds 2 oz, and 27 1/2 inches. He's a big boy. But of course we have known that for a while!

We also had a new development this morning. I gave him a bath and put him in his bed to play while I got him some clothes together. When I turned around to take his clothes back over there...I saw him staring back at me! He had actually pulled himself up and was on his knees! What a strong guy!

It was also Cornell's birthday on the 1st, and we made a little sign for him!

He then started to chew to on it.

And here's a few other pictures I thought were cute!

4 month appointment!

Today was Drake's 4 month appointment. He weighed in at a whopping 19 lbs 7 oz and was 25 1/2 inches long. He was off the charts for weight, and was in the 75th percentile for height. He also has reflux so he now has a prescription for zantac, so hopefully that will work!

More Pics!

So I'm always being told to put pictures on more often, so here are a couple from this weekend!

So the other day I was messing with Drake and he was loving it. Here's a little clip of it!

3 month pics

On Wednesday we went and had Drake's 3 month picture's taken. He was in a pretty good mood but just didn't want to smile. He was too distracted by the pretty flash! If you guys want to see them go to www.magicwandphotography.com click on Drake Walls, and the password is damon. I don't think she put all of them on there, but there are some pretty cute ones!

3 months!

So, today Drake is a whole 3 months old! He isn't doing anything much different, but he now LOVES to look at himself in the mirror. He also got his first haircut yesterday. More like a trim, but he was starting to look like a homeless person, and since he has his 3-month pictures tomorrow, we had to get rid of that! He looks so clean now, like a little man! He can also sit all on his own for short periods. I think it might be because he leans forward, and his giant belly stops him from going forward! He even tries to get up on his knees like he is going to crawl, but his legs aren't strong enough. We have a few more months for that. I have a video, and some pictures to enjoy!

Nana got him a new lovey and he LOVES it!

He had just had a bath so his hair was a little crazy. He's still a little stud!
