Carter had his 6 month checkup today which is funny since he turns 7 months old tomorrow. However, with his surgery being ON his 6 month bday, we didnt want to schedule the 6 month vaccinations for a while, hence the delay. He weighed 19 lbs 10.5 ozs and 29 inches long. So--at his checkup today he met Melanie and Pam...both VERY nice and wonderful with children! Dr. Hamm and Sherry were excited to see his new smile, too, and Carter loves showing it off:) He reached for Sherry on the way out (after shots mind you) and while in her arms, charmed the staff for a while before we left.
They said not to be concerned about his aversion to eating...just keep trying and give a few days break if he still hates it. We can also skip the cereal and go into squash or carrots...hmmm...maybe he'll like that kind of food better than cereal. I've tried letting him play with the spoons thinking he has a fear of the spoon (assuming he thinks I am trying to give him meds), but he doesnt put the spoon in his mouth...interesting because EVERYTHING else goes STRAIGHT into his mouth! I dont want to force it though--they say that can have lasting negative effects...later in life.
He almost has crawling figured out. He'll be doing that in NO time...gotta get the gates up & childproof the electrical sockets and cupboards! AHHHHH! Gavin came for a visit last eve with my mom and I had the opportunity to see what all I'll have to be doing in another 6 months...like remove cords and keeping the coffee table cleared off:) It was pretty fun having a toddler walking around though. I want to keep Carter a baby, but I also look forward to watching him become more mobile. He still LOVES his exersaucer and sleeping in the crib is working pretty well as long as he hugs his pup-i-low (a stuffed dog that has a velcro strap that allows it to turn into a pillow). He enjoys "doing hair" especially Josh and Grandpa Terry's. I say he's taking after the Colorado Tharan men:)
Well--I'll keep ya posted, as always!
