Finn - 6 month stats

I started to write a fairly whiny post about how I'm home from work again since my fever came back, we've all been sick, whine, whine, whine.  But I figure that in 10 years I will want to look back on happier memories, so here we go with Finn's six month stats.  Or course, he is now only a week shy of 7 months, but we'll take what we can get.  And the video below is from when he was 5 months, but I can't seem to get blogger to let me post a picture right now, so this will have to do.  If you can see past (and hear over) a certain rambuncious 2 1/2 year old, you can catch his winning smile and adorable giggles.

Height - 27 1/4 inches - 75th percentile
Weight - 19 lb, 4 ounces - 75th percentile
Head - 17 inches - 50th percentile

Skills and accomplishments: Finn has been a master sitter since he was 4 months old.  He cruised two steps last week.  He already has 5 teeth!

Still working on:  crawling, agreeing to lay on tummy for more than 15 seconds without crying and rolling over to back, sleeping through the night.

Finn will not: sleep on his tummy, eat any baby food with bananas in it.

Finn loves: Annie, more than anything in the world; walks around the neighborhood in the front pack; watching other kids and babies play; baths with Daddy (no so much with Mommy); diaper changes.

Comparisons - yes, I know we aren't supposed to do this, but every parent does:  (1) Finn sleeps about the same, or maybe a little worse than Annie; (2) Finn isn't crawling, though Annie did at 6 months (I think he's too heavy to hoist himself around);  (3) Finn is much more contemplative than Annie, he prefers to sit back and take things in; (4) Finn eats all food we will give him except bananas, where Annie was picky; (5) Finn is much bigger than Annie was at this age, and she wasn't particularly small.
