Verses the picture of him in the swing up above! In this one his feet/legs were so small you can’t even see them out the bottom of the swing.

Dear Landon,
Happy six months! Today, we went to the doctor. You officially weigh 19.8lbs and are 28.5 inches tall.
You are sick, again. You’ve been sick a lot. We had to go to the emergency room this month because we were worried you were going to stop breathing on us. You were fine, and they sent us home. Last night we almost went again, as you had a fever of 104.4, which scared me half to death. We called the doctor, who had us start alternating Motrin and Tylenol, and that slowly brought the fever down, thank goodness. I am looking forward to the cold and flu season passing.
This month you have started to move around. When we put you on the ground, you can move from one point to another along the floor. You don’t crawl yet, but you roll around, or pull yourself about. One of the things you will do is stay in a sitting position for a while, and then decide you want to reach for something. (Usually Dru-Kitty). You then reach out, and topple forward, only to land on your face. This always upsets you to no end, even when you are on a soft surface, like a bed. I usually have the boppy around you, so the only way for you to fall and hurt yourself is forward.
We started solid foods this month. You’ve had Peas, Carrots, Sweet Potatoes, Bananas, rice cereal, and oatmeal. You seem to really enjoy the foods, except the bananas. The first few times you tried to eat, I think there was more on the outside than actually made it down into your belly, but now you seem to be getting the hang of it. There is still a mess, but I know you get to eat a lot as well!
You have really started to reach for things. You now change the tunes on your mobile by reaching out and pushing the buttons. You also reach for your toys, and hold onto them. You can reliably get things into your mouth. You have also found, and are fascinated by, your toes. You have also gotten to the point where you can let me know if you want to be picked up. You will stretch both arms out to me when you want up. It is absolutely adorable.
Part of me is so proud and surprised that you are already six months old. Another part of me can’t believe you’ve only been in our lives for such a short period of time. You have become such a huge part of our family; I just can’t imagine life without you.
We love you Landon, now and always. Happy first valentines day, and happy six month birthday.
Love
Mom

1 minute video of Landon, where I manage to show off his tooth. He smiles a lot in this video, but nothing really interesting happens.
