6 Month Checkup

Evan had his 6 month well-check today. He is doing really well. He is now 27.5 in. long (82%) and 17 lbs. 14 oz. (56%). So he is growing like a weed. He is also right on target with his motor development. His left ear is red and has fluid built up so he has to start an antibiotic and goes back in two weeks to make sure the ear infection has cleared up. Hopefully he doesn't have ear problems like I did, still do. I don't want him to have to go through that. She said it may have just come on from when he was sick last month.

Evan is still doing great with his eating. He started squash this week and so far has liked the vegetables he has had. We'll start the green vegetables this weekend and then fruits in a week or so. I'm going to start him on three meals a day and hopefully he will get on a good feeding schedule. At times (especially at night) he will eat his solids and drink a 6 oz bottle and then want another whole bottle not more than two hours later. The baby is going to explode!!

Here are some more pics from this week. We are enjoying our spring break but wishing it was feeling a bit more spring like. The sun has been behind the clouds quite a bit and the wind has been terrible. It makes it hard to get outside. Even though the temp says 50s, the wind doesn't make it feel that warm. Have a great spring break and Happy St. Patrick's Day!


Sitting up by himself!! He can sit longer and safer with his boppy behind him. Practice, practice.


It's hard getting just an Evan picture anymore.


And even harder when she jumps in front of him while I am taking his picture!! Camera hog!


But they are so cute together. Just this week Evan has started to laugh out loud if Madi is sitting in front of him and laughing. It is so fun to watch!


Bath time! First time in the big bath and Sissy was a great help!
