6 months old!

Yup, Deacon is 6months old already. Valentines day marked the offical 6 month mark but we didn't go to the doctor until today. Deacon's weight gain is really slowing down. He is no long topping the charts he is more like average at 17.5 lbs. Not a big surprise but he still seems big to us. (Jacob was this exact same size last year at this time, except he was a year old.) Deacon is average for height 26 1/2 inches and it appears he has a large head. I'm thinking that's a good thing, lots of room for the brain to grow and develop.

His reflux is still our biggest struggle. It isn't improving and with the continued sinus drainage we have been dealing with for the last month or so it's causing some wheezing/asthma like symptoms. We are trying some new meds and hopefully can avoid any need for an inhaler or breathing treatments. The nurses and doctor continue to tell us how lucky we are that he is as happy and easy going as he is considering all reflux issues. Praise God!! Even though the breathing issues with reflux are scary we feel blessed that his such a trooper through it all.

Developmentally Deacon continues to do well. He is doing all the normal 6 month old things as well as showing a real interest in crawling. He is pretty speedy backwards!! :) The doctor suggested we try to get him eating some more table foods and using the sippy cup. Yeah more stuff to cart around!!!!
