The doctor was so happy with his growth and also gave him the green light to start solids. Hm…we were initially going to start him at 6 months but we may start earlier now!! He certainly looks very interested in Mama’s food when she’s eating. She also noted that he’s more social and interactive with her versus her big sister who STILL hasn’t said a single word to her!
Today, Peanut also got more vaccinations. He did well with the oral med.
This squinty face was made because the medicine was cold. Funny boy.
He also got two shots on his chubby thighs. He didn’t feel the first one but the he cried a little after the second. Overall, he did great!
