7 lbs and 2 years, 9 days

Half a year has gone by since Rocco Harrison was born! How is that possible? Time flies when you're having fun!! I am definitely having fun with these two little bitties. Well, one little bittie and we know I am referring to Jillian.



Just got back from the doc and we know that Rocco is not little bittie. Here's the official stats:




Weight: 20 lbs (90th percentile)
Height: 27 1/2 ins (75th percentile) This has dropped off a little.
HC: 95th percentile (Dr. forgot to write down the cms.)




Seriously, the child has a big head. A head that will not fit thru any neck hole of a shirt. Very frustrating!!!




There are two years, 9 days that separate my cuties. However, only 7 small pounds. Jillian better start being really nice to Rocco b/c he is going to bigger than her in a few short months. How crazy is that??




Nicknames:
RockStar, RoccoBaby, RoccoMan, RoccoPulco, Tank, TwoTon



Moving:
He is sitting up by himself but has made no attempt to crawl. He has not even made it to all fours yet. There is just too much weighing him down.



Features:
All the blue color in his eyes is gone. He has brown eyes. I know I am an eye snob but I am slightly disappointed (I am being honest). Both Grandpas have the most beautiful blue eyes you have ever seen (which Miss J was fortunate enough to get) and even Bryan has green eyes but Rocco got brown from somewhere.
His hair is blonde and getting blonder. Blonder is that a word?
He has the biggest, biggest, biggest thighs you have ever seen!!! I have a hard time getting his shorts over those thighs.
He still has the two bottom teeth only. I am looking every day for those top two. Jillian got them right after turning 6 months.

Food

At six months Rocco is eating solid foods. He is doing really well with the rice cereal and has also eaten squash, sweet potatoes, carrots and applesauce. We are going to do the green vegtables next. I am sure he will love them. He seems to have liked everything so far.



Sleep
NOT sleeping through the night



Bottle
NO bottle, NO sippy cup.



Smile
ALL THE TIME!!! Anybody can look at him and meet his eyes and smile and he will give it right back to you. Doesn't matter who you are!! He is a charmer!!!
