The Boy Just Keeps Growing

Grayson turned six months old on May 17th. The next day he had his doctor's appointment and he now weighs 19 pounds, 14 ounces (really, he's almost 20 pounds) and he's 27 inches long. He did really well with his four shots, only crying a little, and then smiling up a storm when he was all finished. I really am very, very lucky to have such a great little guy. We do need to take him to an Orthopedic Surgeon to have his right foot checked. When he stands his foot turns out and his Pediatrician showed me some exercises to help the muscle loosen up, but she wants the Orthopedic to take a look just to be safe.

Grayson also went to his first "kid" birthday this past weekend and seemed to enjoy himself. There were about 15 other children running around, ranging from Grayson's age to age seven and he loved to watch him. He couldn't eat any birthday cake obviously, but I certainly did!!

Speaking of sweet stuff, he is now eating fruit in the morning. As I mentioned before, I increased the amount of solids he gets throughout the day and I've now added a half container of fruit with his breakfast. He's enjoying it, but he's still digging his veggies.
