Tobin LOVES his bath time with Dad. We LOVE how engaged he is in what is going on around him.

Tobin went to the doctor this week and he got all of his 6 month shots plus his first flu shot. He fared pretty well considering how many pokes he got - four.

Tobin measured at 28.1 inches - 93 percentile, weighed 17.6 lbs - 51 percentile, and his head circumference was 17 in - 33 percentile. He is growing excellently perfectly in all areas.

For those who want to keep track, this is what he measured when he was born.

Tobin's doctor's name is Dr. Cori Lopez and her nurse is Vanessa Vaughn. I'm not kidding. Isn't that cool!

According to Wikipedia, Tobin's eyes should be stabilizing at 6 months. Here is his eye color:

Dad's eye color:

Mom's eye color:

When I use the eyedropper in Photoshop, the colors that I get with Tobin's eyes are green and blue. We will check again in the next few months to compare.

And yeah, we're snowed in and can't take our child sledding!

Tobin is now 6 months old. He has a 6 month appointment with his doctor on Wednesday so I will add in his height:___ weight:____ and head circumference when we know their measurements. His eyes are still blue but they have a neat brown/green ring near the pupils. His hair is almost blonde and long enough to get a pretty good mohawk.

We have learned quite a bit in these last months. Tobin is eating oatmeal and banana's. He playfully screeches, sticks out his tongue and sucks on it a lot. He is also playing with his toys now. He sticks them in his mouth most of the time, but he is aware of them. He can even hit his ball with one hand and shake his rattle with the other. He loves to hear voices on the phone. When we have our phone on speaker, he coos and giggles and reaches for it.

We are going to start feeding him more different solid foods this week. This month he will get sweet potatoes, squash, pears, papayas and mangos (if we can get them at the health food store that is). Dave and I are goind to puree his food at home and see how that works.
