6 month check-up
It is hard to believe it has been 6 months already. The Dr said this morning that we are closer to his 1st birthday than to the day he was born! Time seriously flies SO fast.
Well, Jayce is still topping off the charts, he's >95th in height at 28 3/4" and 95th in weight at 20 lbs 1 oz. The Dr is always amused at how happy Jayce is in the office. Jayce really doesn't seem to be phased yet by going to the Dr and even after the Dr gives him his shots, Jayce cries for a few seconds but then follows it up with a smile. The Dr said he feels bad giving the shots to happy kids...as he actually makes them cry. I guess that's right...why would you ever want to make a baby cry.
But Jayce seems to be on target for everything else. He passed all the "tests" the Dr gave him....he even succeeded in ripping apart that throw away paper that you sit on. He was very focused and persistent in playing with it so much that he amused the Dr by his determination.
I do think we may have a little trouble maker on our hands though....
Jayce is very allergic to detergents and we've switched everything at our house to be either organic or fragrance free. But when Jayce goes to daycare the rash on his face can be pretty bad. We bring his own blankets & bibs every week so that we can keep his exposure down to a minimum. The only thing left is the cloth toys at daycare, which are washed in a detergent that he is allergic to. So we discussed with the teachers to just not let Jayce play with those items. So this has all been working out but now Jayce has learned to"steal" the cloth toys away from the other kids as they walk or crawl by him. The teachers say that he does this multiple times a day and all the other kids let him take the toys away!! They say it is really funny to watch as he does it so quietly that he appears to be innocent and to boot he smiles at them as if he didn't do anything wrong! Plus since he puts EVERYTHING in his mouth they say it is really funny, as the other day he "stole" this spider puppet; he put the belly in his mouth and had 8 spider legs covering his head! Ah, if I could only be a fly on the wall at his daycare.
