Yesterday was Kyle's 6 month check up! He weighs a healthy 19 lbs, 4 oz (75th percentile) and everything looks great! The doc recommended we start rice cereal this week, and then introduce green veggies in about 2-3 weeks. He also wants me to start giving him a little water, out of a bottle or sippy cup. We tried it when we got home, and the faces he was making were so funny. But after a few tries he drank a little bit. I think we'll try the sippy cup next time.
He also got another round of shots, which he took like a champ. He only cried out of irritation that they were holding his legs straight; the shots didn't even phase my tough guy. I'm so relieved he hasn't had a reaction to any of his shots so far... if anything, he is just really tired.
After his appointment we relaxed out front on our new outdoor blanket. I'm not sure how we survived the summer without one of these things! I got this one at
Better Surf Than Sorry and it is huge and awesome - perfect for sitting on the grass (which we do at least twice a day!).
Kyle thought it was hilarious when I was shoo-ing away the ants that were trying to crawl on his head :)
