As you can tell by the title of this post, we have had a busy few weeks!!! First things first, our little guy went for his 6 month checkup last week and is progressing very well! Dr. Higgenbotham was very impressed that Anderson could sit up on his own without any help! He weighed in at a whopping 21 lbs and 3 oz, and was 27 1/2 inches long. He is taking 6 oz bottles 3 to 4 times a day and eating fruit baby food in the morning and veggies for lunch. Dr. Higgenbotham also said we could start introducing the "puffs" snacks to him, so we will try those soon! He is in the 98th percentile in everything, and what made me such a proud mommy was that Dr. Higgenbotham said! Per Dr. Higg, babies who are that high in percentile weight and height, tend to be behind in developing their motor skills because they are bigger babies, but he said Anderson is right on track with EVERYTHING! He said he was very impressed with Anderson and that he is developing at a great rate. That's my boy =)
I must say this was the best Valentines Day to date! Bradley and I exchanged some small gifts and then we let Anderson open his! We found him a giant stuffed red Sock Monkey and he loves it! I think because it is his size =) Mom and Dad got Anderson a really sweet card and a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse movie!
Yesterday, we decided since the weather would be nice, to take Anderson to the Zoo for the first time! and I'm so glad we did because we all had a ball!!!! I will let the pictures do the talking here =)
I will say this! Anderson had never had a sippy cup before yesterday, and since it was so hot and formula wasn't agreeing with Anderson's belly, we gave him juice in his sippy cup and he took to it like a champ! so we will start weening him off a bottle slowly and trying to go solely to a sippy cup from now on. Thanks for checking in =)
