Maggie & Matt's Wedding

CJ is only 6 months old, and he's already been to two weddings! Last weekend he was in his Aunt Maggie's wedding at the Trenton Country Club. Mom pulled him and cousin Brody down the aisle in a wagon. CJ and Brody loved it!

Here are some photos from the big day.

Touring NJ and PA with Grandparents

CJ had a busy couple of weeks playing tour guide to two sets of grandparents! We spent lots of time strolling downtown Princeton and making dinner and just hanging out at home. We also checked out New Hope and George Washington's Crossing, and visited some of the historical sites in Princeton and Philadelphia.

The family at where the Mercer Oak (which had seen and survived the Battle of Princeton during the Revolutionary War) used to be. Somehow we missed the new tree, which is just to the right, in our photo!

6-Month Milestones & Pictures

CJ had his half birthday last week on August 14th! The pediatrician was on vacation, so we just had his 6-month checkup yesterday.

CJ weighs 15lbs, 8.5 oz now (compared to 14lbs, 6 oz last month). He's still between the 10th and 25th percentile for weight. However, he grew 1.5" and is now 27.5" long, putting him in the 75th percentile for height. And of course, he still has a big head; at 18" he's in the 90th percentile on this one!

During our checkup, the doctor described CJ as "perfect" and said he's very sturdy when sitting up for his age. He asked if he's been around older babies much. CJ had 4 shots this time (DTAP, HIB, Hep B, and PCV).

Nighttime sleep has regressed! CJ's waking up once per night between midnight and 4am and he usually wakes up for the day at 5am. The doctor said mom has been making the situation worse by feeding him in the middle of the night and to start putting dad to work so he doesn't expect food from mom!

CJ's big accomplishment this month was scooting around on his belly. He now gets around pretty well. Since the end of the month, he started moving from lying to sitting on his own and even managed to get himself on all fours and rock back and forth...though he hasn't quite started crawling yet. But, the baby-proofing has begun!

CJ's diet has expanded greatly. He's now eating all types of pureed fruits and veggies. Some of his favorite foods include apple slushies and pureed peaches from Terhune's.

CJ's Daycare Orientation

If these pictures are any indication of how CJ will do at daycare every day, then he's going to be just fine. CJ got to play for about an hour today while mom attended an orientation. There were only two other babies there that early in the morning. CJ was very curious, scooting up to them, touching them, and grabbing for their toys already...we may have to introduce him to the concept of sharing early!
