6 Month Doctor’s Appointment

Jaiden’s 6 month check-up went so good Wednesday morning! He is 19 lbs 9 oz (81 percentile) and 28 inches tall (89 percentile). I think he’s finally started to slow down on the growing thing for awhile.. thank goodness. She said from here on out he will probably gain about a pound a month. We were told that we can now start sippy cups, juice, and some real food... Fun Fun!! Jaiden and I made a trip to Babies R Us this morning and bought tons of new and exciting things for him to try. He is absolutely in love the Gerber Graduates yogurt melts and puffs. They dissolve almost as soon as you put it in your mouth so he had no problems. He already gets excited when I pull the bag of yogurt melts out. I’m anxious to see what he’ll do with sippy cups. He doesn’t get very many bottles so I’m thinking he might not get it just yet, but we’ll see. Kevin was able to make it to this appointment, and of course Jaiden decided to completely switch things up this time around and not even cry during his shots. Kevin swears that it was because he was there. I’m so proud of the little monkey... but really?! He definitely could’ve showed a few tears so Daddy could experience the gut-wrenching helplessness that I’ve felt at every appointment. He was not even fazed during the first shot, and then when the second one came around he gave a little pouty face and then that was it. What a little trooper. Hopefully he’ll take them like a champ again at his 9 month appointment when I’m there by myself...
