Six Month Check Up

I can’t believe I forgot to post this one in order, but Tyler had his six month check up on Thursday, December 11th.  He weighed 13 lb 14 oz and was 25.5 inches long making him, well, tiny.  He is the 5th percentile for weight but he is growing fine and Dr. Israel was happy with his growth.  He had to get 5 shots – 3 regular immunizations, the swine flu and regular flu – but he really did a great job.  Once again, I was more upset afterwards than he was.  Dr. Israel said we could step up the solids and even feed him a bit off our plate when we wanted to.  Mom had one question – can he have a french fry?  Dr. Israel said it would be fine so at that moment I knew had been defeated.  Mom wore me down while we were at McDonald’s and Tyler had his first french fry.  He didn’t even seem to care anything about it but if you ask his Granny, he loved it :)  I forgot my camera so there are no pictures, but after the doctor and his first trip to McDonald’s we also took him to ToysRUs for the first time.  Mom showed him around and I know that he will be begging Granny to take him there again in no time.
