Isaac's 6 month doctor appts.. #20

Yesterday was such an eventful day!!! We had our 6 month well baby check up and his GI appointment. Both appointments went GREAT! He weighs 18 pounds 10 ounces and is almost 27 inches long. He gained almost a pound in 2 weeks. LOL. This kid loves to eat. We got the go ahead from his GI to start solid food!!!! This is so exciting but so scary because Hirshsprung babies are prone to constipation. So far we have been so lucky and have not had to deal with this. We started rice cereal yesterday afternoon and he loves it! We are only doing one tablespoon once a day to start. And we can introduce veggies next week. We are supposed to introduce yellow veggies, then orange veggies, then green veggies, and then finally fruits. Waiting 7 days in between new foods. Starting out slow! He said usually it's best to wait 5-7 days to introduce new foods to see if there is a reaction to them.

He also had a tooth start cutting yesterday! First tooth.. It's the bottom left front. He is going to look so cute with his new tooth. But poor guy has been having a rough time with it. He has been kind of cranky here and there. You can tell when it's bothering him because he will rub his gums and have this little sad face on. :( Breaks my heart!

Annnnnnnd we found out that Isaac will have a boy cousin in September. My brother and sis in law are pregnant and they found out yesterday the baby is a boy. They are naming him Braydan. We are so excited!!! They live in Arizona, moved there in February, which makes me kind of sad because my brother and I are really close. I wish they still lived here so the boys could grow up together! Maybe we will have to look into moving to Arizona.. HAH!

So all is well here in the land of ISAAC and THE TOOTH!!!!
