6 month well check

We had Hink's 6 month doctor's appointment a few weeks ago, I'm just slow to post updates. He is keeping me busy lately. He is doing really well. He is a super social baby and will smile and interact with everyone we meet. He is super close to sitting on his own too. He can balance for about 20 seconds before his big head topples him over!

Height- 67cm
Weight- 6.9kilos
Head- 44.4 cm

Hink jumped to the 50th percentile for height (from the 25th last month) but is still super skinny and in the 10th percentile for weight. I'm not too worried about it though since he is going to be eating us out of house and home very soon! We are still slowly trying new fruits and vegetables, some more successfully than others...he hates peas, but loves pumpkin and carrots and tolerates green beans.  The foods that he likes, he eats a lot of! He screams if I take too long between bites. I can't wait til he gets some teeth and I can give him real food.

Hink got his first taste of ice cream while we were at Cold Stone last week. This video is super cute and only 12 seconds so don't skip it!

Hink's First Halloween

We celebrated Hink's first Halloween at a party with a bunch of friends here in Beijing. Our costumes were thrown together at the last minute after a hectic weekend, but I still think Hink is the cutest football around!

Church at the Great Wall

This weekend we went to the Great Wall and had church!  

It was great to meet new people.  We went hiking up the wall, played some cards, had some good food and danced a little bit.  

Here is a picture of the service being held in the courtyard of the resort.

Look at Hink grow!

Just after we brought him home from the hospital- about 2 weeks old.

 6 months, what a chunk!

Little Fish!

Hink is loving his baths these days. No matter how cranky he is, when I start undressing him for a bath he starts smiling so big! He starts the bath in a chair, but he really likes to just float and kick. I hold his head and neck and the rest of him floats. He loves kicking off the side of the tub. He is so much fun!

Best Friends

CoCo has always loved to sit on the windowsill and watch people and puppies outside. Hink has started to join him. He switches back and forth between watching CoCo and looking out the window. He will be happy sitting like this for 15-20 minutes. It is so cute. I'm really excited for Hink to start interacting more with CoCo and playing with him. For now he just watches him mostly, but he's starting to pet him and grab his ears if he's sitting next to us on the couch.

Instagram

Since I discovered I can use instagram on my phone here in China without a VPN(the thing that allows us to access facebook, youtube, blogspot, and all the other restricted sites) I have been a very lazy blogger. I have been taking tons of pictures of Hink while we are out and about, but none of them have made it onto the blog for all our friends that don't use instagram. These are just some of the pictures we have posted lately. Enjoy!

Playing superman.

We borrowed a bumbo from a friend. Hink loves it!

I'm going to fit this whole ball in my mouth!

First swim at the Hyatt in Beijing. Hink did great!

Out for a stroll.
