6 Month Dr Appt

Max had his 6 month appointment with Dr Kleber this morning. He did so good showing her everything he's learned and all of his new tricks! Like.......

sitting up....and

playing with Laney!

She was a little disappointed in his weight again at this visit. The once "big baby" we had, is now following in his sister's footsteps when it comes to the curve on growing!
Max's 6 month stats are:
Weight: 15 lbs, 6 oz (10%)
Length: 27 1/4 in (75%)-much higher than Laney
HC: 16 in

Max is eating his cereal in the morning, which consists of oatmeal with prunes and apple juice with it. We did the rice cereal for awhile, but the poor guy was getting all "bound up" and switched over to oatmeal since it's a little higher in fiber. That's what we did with Laney too. He gets nursed after his cereal, and then naps for about 2 hours. He then nurses (or gets a bottle when I work) at lunchtime, then naps again for about 2-2 1/2 hours. He gets another bottle (or nurses) after his afternoon nap and then gets to be up and play for awhile! He gets a container of baby food at dinner (usually around 6pm), then nurses again around 7. We have added a little bit of formula to his diet to get him used to that. My gut feeling is he will be completely done nursing by his 9 month appointment, but who knows! Old Momma can't keep up with how much the little guy needs!

Dr Courtney said we can now add a container of food at lunchtime, which he'll LOVE that! We are also moving him to Stage 2 babyfoods. Maybe there will be more of a variety for him, since he's not a fan of the green veggies!

Max got 4 shots today and a dose of oral medicine. He took the oral med like a champ...shots, not so much! I will be taking both of the kids back for the flu shot before we head to Mexico in 3 weeks (per Dr's orders!). Can't wait for Mexico!!
