The doctor plotted his growth on the 6 month chart and he is 85th percentile for weight! For his corrected age he is in the 95th percentile. He is a very solid baby.
We took a little video of him enjoying bathtime. He gave us a few coos and smiles so I thought I would share it. (Okay, I couldn't get it to upload, so I will work on that and get it posted soon!)
In the video you can see his belly pretty well. The stoma on closest to the middle is the mucus fistula - that just gets covered with a piece of cotton. The one on the right side is the ostomy and that is what has the bag on it. You can see the scar on his belly too. It is pretty long, but it looks pretty good - at least, it is just a thin little line.
Also thought I would post a couple more comparison pictures for you.
This one was taken on the day he came home from the hospital
He was swimming in the outfit when we brought him home. But, look at him in that same outfit 2 months later!
Now that little outfit does even fit him! Perhaps the overalls will still work, but the white shirt is an absolute no! It is exciting to watch him grow and I am so glad he is doing so well.

What a handsome and smart young boy. Amber cannot wait to play with him. Happy six months, Samuel!
Wow ... I can't believe he is so big! He's outgrown Ally (she only weighed in at 16 pounds at her 6 month check up). He is SO cute! I'm glad to hear all is well!
He is growing so fast! Happy Six Months to baby Samuel.
He out weighs Lily by half a pound.
