Ok.. so technically, the big 6 month mark for Kael was yesterday…

But… his 6 month Dr. appointment was this afternoon.

So, we headed off to the Dr.’s office… Kael was weighed, measured, poked…prodded and pronounced to be an excellent example of a healthy baby! His official #s are: weight: 16 Lbs 9 Oz. 27 Inches tall, and a 44cm head. Physically he is developing normally… mentally, the Doc said he was exceptional! Of course..he was a big hit with the nurses, and he spent quite a bit of time flirting with them all.. he even let the nurse who gave him his shots hold him afterwards (after Janice had held him and calmed him down).

While we’ve started Kael on solid foods, we figured we’d check with the Dr. and see if he had any recommendations as far as timelines to add new foods etc… He said that Kael could start eating the ‘biter’s biscuits’ or sucking on a bagel.. but that it was also generally a good idea to follow the APA’s recommendations…but if we felt he was ready for more food we could try it..

So.. we went to the store, and bought him a box of biscuits… look for the pictures here in our most recent photo album update. There’s also some pictures of him eating Avocado (YUCK!)
