There is some catching up in terms of general updates that we need to do. And it is not necessarily because this post is coming unusually late. Rather, the last one went live right before Halloween and Leon's 6 month check up. Leon's costume was a little bunny, which mommy crafted from our existing seal hoodie. Who knew that those two creatures were such lookalikes? Leon didn't seem to care much but he did enjoy the bjorn ride he got out of it for the daycare Halloween parade.
At the doctor's office we were informed that consistent with appearances, Mommy's genes appear to be the slightly more dominant ones for Leon. He is currently 75th percentile for height and 23rd percentile for weight. It will be interesting to see if he ever catches up on Dari with height and then we would really have a twin situation on our hands. This is not unlikely. If Leon continues his current enthusiasm for all foods presented to him, he will be eating a greater variety of options than his big brother in no time! Forget the applesauce and bring on the cauliflower and spinach and beets :). This picture was taken right before he started solid foods = that's how much baby Mommy made, ha!
Fortunately, one thing Leon is not into eating (reportedly) is the paint at his daycare, where they expose him to creative activities frequently.
He is known as the chatty baby at school, where we had a parent-teacher conference last week. Yes, they have those for babies. Although the focus is less on the little people and more on what the big people do with them. Fortunately, we did not get a talking-to about anything specific like sleeping or eating (the other parents did). Must be because the teachers don't have to deal with Leon still waking up periodically at night... But still, good job baby!
And here's a picture of Leon taking in the beautiful colors we were all treated with this fall!
