Doctor visit

I am so far behind in my entries! I am going to be posting a lot today, so get ready! :) I will be posting based on the day they actually occured...

Eli went to the doctor for his 6-month check-up. He did great. He weighed 19 lb 2 oz and was 27 1/2 inches long. I talked to the doctor for a long time about introducing new solids into his diet, and the doctor very patiently answered all of my questions :) I am sure I will still be calling many of you asking questions. I wish there was a very exact 'formula' for doing it...like, at 6 months and 4 days you give a baby carrots. At 6 months and 9 days you give a baby apples. But, that is not the case. Apparently I have to just try things and hope they work :)
Eli also got 3 shots. He did SO good! I have yet to have to give him Tylenol after shots. He gets his shots, cries for about 15 seconds, then he's done. In fact, he was smiling before we left the office. Apparently he's got Edgar's ability to handle needles...I still can't even look when they give him the shots!
