6 Months Milestone Pics for DS

[eddiegotsole]

DW schedule a photo studio to take some family pics, which we did over the weekend.  Since DS just turned 6 months we wanted to take the opportunity to capture a mini-milestone!  These would be the first true family studio pics we have taken since his infant photos were all solo pics of him. Two women were involved in the photography, 1 was taking the photos while the other was entertaining DS with funny faces and sounds to get some priceless expressions out of him for the pics!  DS actually did very good and didn't cry once through the entire Photoshoot!  It was the best I could have hoped for in this situation!  No funny costumes or anything, just family photos and a few of DS on his own.  

Today DS is having his 6 month checkup and he measured in at 28 inches long with a weight of 15.6 lbs.  Definitely a long, slim baby!  Since I'm not at the appointment due to work, I am waiting for DW to share the feed back from our pediatrician!  He tumbled off the bed today and gave DW a bit of a scare.  But our bed is pretty low and he landed on a carpet covered by an area rug (plenty of cushion).  He cried a bit but was smiling and laughing shortly after.

Photoshoot sounds like it went well. Glad DS was cooperative. We've been lucky in the Photoshoot department, except for holiday pics with Santa, the Easter bunny; he's not a fan of strangers and definitely not giant bunnies. Does well with Mrs. Claus though.

Awesome to capture the milestone. Glad they turned out well.

What's the update from the Doc? That's scary with the tumble. He sounds like a squishy resilient guy though...he was probably more scared than anything.

He's definitely resilient, but it doesn't stop me from worrying.  I noticed that he got a little bump on his head the other day.  I noticed it when I came home late from class and I started quizzing my wife about it.  She told me it happened when he was having a bath and that he was fine.  I had many more questions but I realized I may have been coming off a bit aggressive and slightly accusatory.  Definitely not my intention.  I guess we can't help but worry!

It's scary when you see falls happen. I try to remind myself more often than not kiddo isn't even phased by a little bump, but my reaction makes him think he should be in pain and it's only then he starts crying.

It's amazing how often concern sounds like accusation. I feel the need to get it (patenting) right every time that sometimes the slightest critique or suggestion is heard as a judgement in my head even if it's said with the best intentions.
