I took JT in for his 6 month check-up on Friday. He is a very healthy growing boy. Here are his stats... 27in. long, 16lbs. 11oz., he is in the 75th percentile for height and 50th for weight. The doctor said he actually only gained 1.5 lbs. since his 4 month check up and he wants him to gain close to 4 lbs. by his 9 month check up. We aren't too worried about all of that though. Have you seen this boy??? I don't think he has any eating or weight issues to worry about :). I told the Dr. that he eats all of the time and that we still feed him once or twice during the night. His response was, "Are you tired yet?" Of course we are both exhausted but we can't stand to hear our baby boy cry! He told us to try the good old trick of letting him cry for 3-5 nights and that the problem would be solved. We did this trick with Kate about this same age and it worked like a charm. She would wake up and cry for 15 min. and then go back to sleep and it only lasted 3 days. JT cries for a bit longer and wakes up more than once but tonight will be our 3rd night so we will let you know if it works this time around. It drives me crazy to let him cry bc I just want to pick him up and hold him! I know that all 4 of us need the sleep though so we are willing to give it a chance :(. I hope you enjoy the video below. JT is trying his best to crawl but he gets very frustrated. Sometimes he just gives up and does the good old belly flop to get to his toys:). OH, JT cut his 1st tooth the day he turned 6 months and he cut his 2nd tooth this week! He is doing very well but he loves to chew on EVERYTHING!
