6 Month Doctor Appointment

We went today and it was hard on Evan. I just hate these appointments. I am finding now that Evan is a bit older, he holds onto his cry longer. The nurse tried to distract him with a lighted, colored top. It worked for a little while but as soon as the top stopped Evan cried again. He was so sad. He fell asleep as soon as he was in his car seat. He was so tired and upset he wouldn't even look at me. It all made me so sad too. We got home and when he woke up he was better. He is still not himself but better. I was getting him ready for his bath tonight and as I undressed him I saw those two huge, silver-glitter band-aids one on each leg. A reminder of the day.

Evan is 18 pounds (65%) and is 28" long!! (95%)!! The doctor said his length is the length of a nine month old! He is going to be tall and gorgeous. Look out world.

We have to get him a new car seat pronto! He is too long for the one he has now. It is for babies 27" and under....we are going tomorrow. We are also eating solids twice a day now. We are doing a breakfast and a dinner. We had sweet potatoes for the first time today. he loved them. I am anxious to give him some sort of fruit so I can mix it with the cereal. He might like it better. Steven brought two bags of fresh plums home. I am going to make some of them into baby food tomorrow.

On a side note-Evan rolled over 3-4 times tonight. He rolled from his back to his belly and then back. He was so proud when he did it he screamed! It was so cute. I love to see how proud he gets when he does something new.
