It's hard to believe that Alex is nearing his 6 month mark! And today was his six month check up with Dr. Kevin. We LOVE his doctor... so personable and friendly & he gives books to Alex. Very cool! Today's title was "Let's eat!" Totally appropriate for our little food eater. What has Alex tried so far? Green beans, peas, squash, sweet potato, banana (he threw up after eating it... we think because he was so full), applesauce, pears, cream of wheat, rice cereal, and I think that's it so far. At the clinic, the nurse measured Alex and here are his stats: Height: 28 inches & Weight: 19 pounds. Dr. Kevin said, "Alex is not fat, he's just a big boy!" When I look at his feet, I think 'Wow. Someday they will be huge!' He'll most likely be taller than us! Dr. Kevin also said all the good nutritious food he's eating is making Alex gain weight and be strong. After the doctor's, Uncle Jon, Steve, and Alex and I headed over to.... drum roll please... Tommy O's! Yes, again! We had appetizers and a drink & Alex talked and sat on Jon's lap. And tonight, Uncle Jon fed him while we packed for our trip to see Grandma Elle, Gramps, Uncle Mike, Aunt Maria, and Cousin Sophia. Jon is absolutely wonderful with Alex... he sings to him, plays guitar for him, and makes him sooooo happy! He is the BEST Uncle one could ask for. Both Steve and I agree that Jon and Alex have a very special relationship. I LOVE watching Alex and Jon together.
