How old is your baby this week?
6 months and 7 days old

What's up with you emotionally & mentally this week?
had to deal with something really upsetting on the friend front and i nearly lost my very best friend but thankfully it is all taken care of and i can breathe easier. other than that i am doing mostly ok. a little stressed because my boyfriend has had to work overtime this past week to help his boss out with some openings of new houses and jack has been feeling cranky from getting his shots.

What has been your biggest challenge this week?
honestly? it was when i heard that my friends had allowed a person they knew to be a convicted child molester into their house where there are photos of not only my son, but of their niece as well (she is 11 days younger than jack) and i was not ok with that. i prepared myself to completely sever ties with four of the people who have been my closest friends for years (in one case 19 years) but thankfully they understood where i was coming from and remedied the situation.

Has your baby accomplished a new milestone this week? If so, what?
no new milestones yet but he did try some bananas and he is addicted! today he gets to try out real fruit in one of those mesh bag pacifier thingies. we shall see how that goes. i think he will love it.

Has your baby had any appointments or play dates? How did they go? they went pretty well! he had his 6 month check up on friday. he did ok with this shots, this is the only time he's ever really cried and i remembered as we were leaving the office that i had not let him have a sucker beforehand. his stats are
weight: 15lbs 11oz (20% percentile)
height: 26 1/2" (50% percentile)
head circumference: 17 1/4: (50% percentile)

Random things of note?
i am very excited! i planted a garden recently and everything has started to sprout. yesterday i spent a good chunk of time outside repotting the ones that needed to be thinned out and jack enjoyed the time outside.
