6 Month Check Up

Today Chris and I took Kal-el for his 6 month check up. I can't believe our baby is at the half way point to being a one year old! The first month of his life seemed to go by so slowly and the last few have really flown. I cherish each and every day and try to treasure each milestone and growth I see in him. He weighed in at almost 21 lbs and measured 27.5 inches putting him in the 90th and 85th percentiles for weight and height. He will seriously be carrying his Mommy if he keeps on growing at this rate. He's my big baby :) He was also tuff stuff about his shots. Still not a very fun event to watch but I'm just grateful that we dont have to go through this kind of thing more often. We are blessed that he is in such good health. Dr Melvin told us that he could have mashed up fruit and mashed potatoes. My husbands eyeballs danced with excitement. He has been trying to give him mashed potatoes since he was practically born lol I proved to be not much better when the doctor also mentioned we could give him occasional ice cream and yogurt..I burst out with .."Oh Chirs Oh Oh We haaave to carry him to BRUSTERS". I got that your a crazy person look again...whatever mashed potato man lol..We were also informed that starting next month he will be able to eat foods like crackers. We are still waiting on those bottom two teeth to pop through. You can now see them very clearly through the gum! So today went very well and we got a great report on his 6 month checkup!
