Dominic's 6 month well-baby check!

Dominic is already 6 months old! wow....sometimes the time drags as the days go by, but looking back, did I really already have him 6 months ago!?! We had his 6 month check up today. Aside from the shots he got, he did really well. Even after the shots, he cried for only a little and then was a "tough" little man and stopped crying. Even though I wasn't ready to stop cuddling him! lol... I am always questioning myself of if/how I should be treating him different than my little girl. If I am too hard on him and encouraging him to be tough, will he not be sensative enough? If I cuddle him too much will he be a wuss?!? ugh! I think it's tougher raising a boy so far! lol..
Here are his 6 month stats:
Height: 26.75" (50th percentile)
Weight: 18 lbs 10oz (61st percentile---he's dropping! at his 4 month check he was in the 75th percentile!)
Head: 17.24" (43rd percentile)

Giada loves getting in Dominic's crib with him in the morning when he first wakes up. He usually loves it too. He loves watching and smiling at her. They play for a little bit in his crib and then it's off to start the day!

Winter is here!

It has been so cold the past couple of days! and I am not particularly excited for it to snow anymore because the first snow of this season Giada was not feeling it! She hates her boots and doesn't like to be outside playing :( hopefully that will change as she gets older. I haven't attempted taking Dominic out in the snow yet....that will come next! So we try to get to the pool at our gym at least weekly for the kids....they both seem to love it! and lots of time spent with family and friends on playdates :) This past weekend Giada and Dominic got to have a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa Myers house. I am enjoying watching Dominic become more interactive with Giada. He loves to watch her and laughs at her a lot!
