Dr.'s Appointment

This is Paul in his new pouch. It calms him down at night when he gets crabby.

Paul had his 6 month Dr.s appointment today, even though he is 7 months old. He is healthy! He does have to get a special cream for his drool rash and some flouride supplements. He was 17 lbs 10 oz and 27.5 inches long. His weight was at the 25th percentile, height at the 50th and head circumference at the 75th percentile!

Paul can start eating meat and dairy now, although I need to see if I can eat dairy first before I start giving it to him, though. I made turkey and potatoes for him and I'll try to feed it to him when he wakes up. He is sleeping from the tylenol I gave him for his shots. He didn't do nearly as bad with his shots today. He cried when he got them, but he recovered quickly. He did really well with the nurses and doctor and had lots of smiles.

Paul can have finger foods now, such as cereal or noodles. I think he will have fun with those.

Paul can sit up unassisted until something distracts him, then he topples over. He can get up on all fours and rocks back and forth, then usually does a face plant. He can really cover ground quickly, though.
