Zack's 6th Month Check Up

Zack's 6 month appointment went well except for the 11/2 hour wait and a possible broken collar bone. Yes, I said broken collar bone!  A month ago we thought that Zack had what is referred to as nurse maid elbow, where it pops out and goes back in, after he began screaming when Matt separated him and Abby playing and once he put him down he began screaming.   We called the doctor and he talked us through it and Zack calmed down.  Over the next couple of days he didn't use his left arm as much but we figured it was a symptom of his dislocated elbow.  Over the course of the month we noticed a nodule on his collar bone but didn't think much of it since he was acting fine and I just figured I would bring it up at our 6 month check up.  Well, I told the doctor and he  suspects that it was a broken collar bone since the nodule a typical symptom as it heals ( still really have no idea how it happened. Luckily, there was nothing that we could have done differently and it is actually the most common bone for babies to break ( I guess that is supposed to make me feel a little better?). 

Aside from the drama Zack was such an angel the whole time we where there and I am very thankful because I was about to lose it.   He weighed in at 16 lbs 10 ounces and 27 inches.  He grew 2 pounds and 1 ounce and 3/4 of an inch which accounts for his pudgy thighs!

Abby was her chubbiest at this age and she was a pound lighter and almost the same length but she looked so much bigger.

Zack turned 6 months in San Diego and had his first taste of baby food.  We gave him peas and he looked at me with this, " are you kidding me?!" look.  Becasue he is such a good sport he eats them but he certainly isn't in love with them although you can't tell form his gummy little grin.

Abby a little over 6 months in Pennsylvania having her first taste of either peas or green beans

 Zack has continued "talking" a ton!  He says maammamam etc. and chatters frequently.  He loves rolling over, and over and over!  He sits well on his own and such a joy. 

My little Padres fan

P.S. Don't you love that Zack is in a purple bumbo and Abby is in blue one?
