6 Months Old!

Brady had his 6 month check up the other day. He is a tad over 18 lbs and 27.73 in. long!! He is such a big happy baby. He is doing better taking cereal off the spoon, but we eventually give in and put it in a bottle because he starts shaking his head back and forth. Dr. Lee said to keep working with him and the spoon. He has a bit of eczema, so we've had to change his soap, be mindful of him wearing fleece, use special cream for breakout areas, and use lots of aquafor. His skin is doing MUCH better, so that makes me feel better. I was beginning to go crazy trying to figure out why his face was red and bumpy!!

I made the mistake of asking Dr. Lee about integrating formula because I want to be done breastfeeding; she recommended I continue through flu season. Of course that was a FABULOUS guilt trip, so we'll keep at it. Erik has given him a bottle of formula a day as well as breast milk. He said he gulped it down without any hesitation!
