"Know why I'm doing all this violin-ing?"
"No, why?"
"I'm doing it for my nexiation."
"Your initiation?"
"No, my nexiation."
"Your nexiation?"
"Yes."
"I don't know what that means."
"It means the same thing, Mommy. It means candy."

Healthy Stats
Gib sailed through his 6-month checkup with flying colors. He also skillfully dodged getting shots by having a cold (slick move there, bud). And so, here are the numbers:
27.5 inches long - 70th percentile
18-inch head circumference - 85th percentile
17.9 pounds - 45th percentile
He's trending almost exactly the same as Roxi did as a peanut, which means he'll be in 5-year-old hats soon just like his big sister.

Strategic Gaming
Rob and Roxi have Daddy/Daughter nights fairly often. She gets to pick what they do, and sometimes she chooses to go to a coffee shop. They bike to the shop - Rob biking, Roxi in the bike trailer - share a smoothie and a brownie and play board games together. They'll use the Scrabble tiles to spell out very basic words, play with the cars from Life, etc. And here's what Roxi had to say about the game Stratego the other night: "I don't like this game, Daddy. It's too unusual. This game is for boys."

Big Boy
Gibbers (as Roxi calls him) recently had a checkup, with stellar results:
- 15.7 pounds, in the 50th percentile for his age
- 26.5 inches long, in the 80th percentile
- 17.5 head circumference, in the 85th percentile
Gib got the big thumbs up from Dr. P in all other areas as well. The dude is doing great. He babbles, laughs, rolls, supports his head, grabs and gnaws on everything within his reach, kicks, blows bubbles and drools with the best of 'em. He's also quite the eater; his menu now includes rice cereal, bananas, sweet potatoes, peas and apples. And the way he eyes our food, I wouldn't be surprised if cheeseburgers were next.

Happy Campers
Gib went on his first camping trip a couple of weekends ago. The fresh air of Wyoming agreed with him; he slept better in the great outdoors than he does in his crib at home. Roxi had a blast as well - playing with sticks and rocks, conversing with imaginary animals and enjoying the company of her Colorado aunts, uncles and cousins. She cried when it was time to go home. Rest assured though friends, this isn't the beginning of an announcement that we'll be roughing it full time. Much as I could easily live on s'mores for the rest of my days, I love me some indoor plumbing.
