6 Month Stats

Last night we had Ethan's appointment with the doctor. The poor boy had to get 2 shots..I hate seeing him cry! Again, he almost didn't realize the first one, but by the second one, he was crying. He did stop crying as soon as he was picked up though.

As far as his height and weight, he jumped from the 25% to 50%. He's 17lbs, 12 oz (up almost 4 lbs since his 4 month appointment - he loves his food). He is now 26 1/2 inches (he's grown an average of 1 inch/month). They also measure his head and it's 43cm (an incrase of 2cm since last time and he's now in the 25% from the 10% before).

The doctor said we can give him the second foods that have meat in them now. So, I'll be excited to food shop next time and get a few more varieties. We can also start giving him mashed up fruits/veggies. I'm a bit nervous about this until he has teeth, but we'll try it. Nothing like smashing a banana or some peas..ha ha.

I asked about his teeth coming in and she said they've definitely moved up, so probably in a month or so we might see them. That's about all the exciting news to report. He doesn't have to go back until 9 months now, which is nice and I don't think he'll get shots at that appointment...thankfully!!
