A checkup for Alex today! 20 lbs. 4 oz., 28 inches long. 99th percentile for both height and weight! The doctor told us he is sitting up like he is 8 months old. He demonstrated what I call his "Abs of Steel" pose for the doctor. He is trying to sit up so hard, he pulls his neck and his legs up, so he is in this "V" formation, almost like a pilates move, and holds himself there for a long time! I think I should probably join him in these exercises!
Some more interesting things the doctor had to say . . . Alex is ready to start drinking some water, so we can let him try a sippy cup already! Also, he is to be eating stage 2 foods three times a day. He is now at the point of needing more solid foods than formula! Also, the doctor suggested we occupy him by putting some Cheerios on his high chair tray and let him try putting them in his mouth. REALLY? My LITTLE BABY? Eating CHEERIOS? So I tried it this morning, I'm not sure he knows what to think of them yet! But with his bottom two front teeth coming in, I'm sure it will be only a matter of time before he is chomping down.
We're off to Target this afternoon to buy baby food and sippy cups . . .
So that's what's up on Boomerang Drive today!

Holly - when you go to the store next time look for bright begining puffs. They are like cherrios but disolve a lot faster, less scary then cherrios. Reese loves them.
See you on Wednesday!
