2008 has gotten off to a great start so far. I know it has only been six days, but that's why things have gone so good so far. On January 4th we took Waylon to the doctor for his 6 month well-baby check-up. He has gained two pounds and grew two inches. His new stats:
Weight: 15 lbs 5 oz (he is in the 5th percentile for weight)
Height: 27 inches (he is in the 60th percentile for height)
Tall and skinny! He has some bulking up to do if he is going to play in the NFL! :)
Also, since we have gotten into the new year Waylon has learned sit up on his own. He has been trying so hard to learn how to crawl for about a month now. He gets up on his hands and knees and when he gets ready to move forward he drops down to his belly and flails his arms and legs...needless to say he doesn't usually get far...until today. I have been off work for the last 2 1/2 weeks and spent almost every moment with Way. Today I went to Walmart for an hour and Dave said he crawled while I was gone!! It was the good ol' Army issued low crawl...imagine that! When I got home Way went right back to turning and rolling to get where he wanted to go. I guess for now it's faster for him.
We had a nice quiet Christmas. Dave's parents came out December 15th and we had Christmas with them during their visit. Dave had to work both Christmas Eve and Day, we spent some time on both days with Dave's brother Mike and his wife and daughter, Jenn and Avery. Waylon got lots of great gifts, but at the time of opening them he was much more interested in the wrapping paper. Next year he will understand the concept of the holidays more...it was still a cherished and wonderful first Christmas!
The Hall Family wishes all a happy and safe 2008!
