First Haircut and Six Month Stats

Anyone who has seen Marshall can see that see that he's large for a six month old.  Everyone who asks how old he is usually has a comment about how large he is, or how much hair he has.  I'm sure most people that see him expect me to set him down and have him walking, thankfully he isn't because our house is not child proofed!  I have been waiting to do most stuff until we can see when we are moving.  Our house right now has two sets of stairs and some ridiculous metal railings that have the perfect spacing to get a head stuck between.  Anyway....

Marshall had his six month appointment on Friday, his doctor walked in and said "Would ya feed the kid, it looks like he's starving!"  I love that he has a sense of humor about Marshall being the size of an average one year old!  He weighed in at 21 lbs 12 oz that puts him in the 94th percentile for weight and 28 inches long, the 92nd percentile for height.  He is head is 17 3/4 inches, somewhere around the 82nd percentile.  Needless to say he BIG!  He following a consistent pattern of being big, so no worries there.  He is ahead developmentally and they are surprised he is as mobile as he is because of his size.  He rolls and wiggles all around the living room floor, he gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth.  He is also super close to sitting up unsupported, he leans on his hands right now and can sit up for a minute or two but when he reaches for something he almost always falls over.  And he loves his sippy cup!  He still isn't sleeping through the night and I am torn on whether or not to try sleeping training or see how he does on his own for the next few months.  When he gets up he eats, and not just snacking but takes a full bottle.  And his eating habits haven't been consistent during the day; one days he will down at least 32 oz of formula and the next I can't get him to take 20 oz.  So I feel like some nights he might really be hungry and not just waking up out of habit.  I'm open for suggestions!

We finally gave in and got Marshall's hair trimmed.  Where most kids rub a bald spot on the back of their head, Marshall has just broken off his and made the hair that is left frizzy.  The sides were long and the front was starting to hang in his eyes. So before his doctor appointment I took him to his Aunt Kacie.  He did great, a little wiggly to start out with but once he figured out he could put the cape in his mouth he was good to go!  He looks so much older now.  Here are some before and after pictures!
