Ben went for his 6 month check up (a couple weeks early) yesterday. He weighed 19 lbs and 5 oz and is 26 1/2 inches long. We talked about starting solids which I'm super excited about. I know he is ready because I give him powdered probiotics off my pinkie in the mornings and for the last couple weeks he has been opening his mouth for it! So we are starting with sweet potatoes for the first few days then I'm going to add a little bit of kale to it for extra iron... I'm excited to make his food because that means he have more exposure to different foods...has anyone ever seen kale in a baby food jar?... it's also so much cheaper! We are starting on Friday because Brent wants to be around to see his first taste of solid foods. And not to worry it will be fully videotaped and photographed so no one has to miss a minute! Haha!
Everything else went well and he is doing great. We go back at 9 months when he will have his iron levels tested.
We also visited our midwife Chinmayo yesterday. I saw a girl that I know who is expecting her second baby in a few weeks and she said "are you pregnant?!" No way!!!! Just visiting... I will definitely be using Chinmayo as my midwife again for our second - hopefully it will turn out to be an actual homebirth next time! Enough about more babies and pregnancy though...makes me nervous!
