Super James!

The title of today’s post is provided by Mac. It was his reaction to the latest James stats. James had his 6-month check-up today. He was a little cranky since he had been up since 5:00 am*, but taking him is still 80-gazillion times easier than taking Ada was. Here are his stats:Height: 29 inches – above the 97th percentile
Weight: 20 lbs – just below the 90th percentile
When going out and seeing other people with their babies, I’m surprised to see so many tiny ones sitting up in carts. They are so teeny. How do so many do that? Answer? They aren’t teeny. James is ginormous. He’s about average for a 10 month old.
Teeth
He doesn’t have any yet. For a long time, we’ve been able to see those two bottom teeth. I was worried he was going to start getting them early. So far, no teeth. He’s constantly chewing on anything he can get into his mouth, but not one tooth has poked through yet.
Rolling Over
Yeah, no problems there.
Sitting Up
He can sit for maybe 2 – 3 seconds before he either topples over sideways or ends up kissing his knees. Well, kissing the fat that covers his knees. I may have mentioned it, but, yeah, ginormous. It would probably help him to sit up if he wasn’t constantly kicking his legs.
Crawling
I doubt he’ll start this until he gets sitting up. However, he doesn’t inch-worm his way along. He just uses his legs to push is head forward.
*And guess what? So have I! Only I went to bed at 2:30 am unlike James who went to bed at 7:30 pm.
