6 Months Old

Wesley is 6 months old today. He had his 6 month well visit this morning and weighs 17 pounds, 15 ounces (65th percentile) and is 27 1/2 inches long (90th percentile). His head is in the 50th percentile. He got a flu shot and two other shots so he was not so happy. His gums are also very swollen which means we will probably see some teeth soon. The pediatrician told me to continue to feed him a cereal and fruit for breakfast and dinner and to add on a vegetable and meat for lunch. When we got home from the doctor he was due to eat so I gave him butternut squash and chicken and he devoured both. He goes back in a month for his flu shot and his next well visit isn't until he is 9 months old. Wesley is still a great sleeper. We finally moved him to his crib about 3 weeks ago and he has been sleeping through the night in it. Wesley drinks 6 ounce bottles except for the bottles following his meals. For those bottles he gets 4 ounce bottles so he has anywhere from 30-36 ounces in a day.
