Mr. Sweet Potatoes Esquire the Third

I have a lot of ridiculous nicknames for Colin. The one that drives Mike the most crazy is probably "Mr. Sweet Potatoes, Esq. the third." But the title was fitting yesterday. After Colin's six month appointment, at which we got the go-ahead to start fruits and veggies, we gave him his first baby food - sweet potatoes! When the first spoonful hit his mouth and he figured out it wasn't oatmeal, he screwed up his face and looked at us like we were nuts. But, he kept going and by the end we had a major sweet potatoes fan on our hands...



Pictures of the adventure are here: http://tinyurl.com/28fwyrr. Feeding him has become a sloppy mess, as he has inherited from his Uncle Adam a tendancy to shove his hand into his mouth after every single bite.

In other news, his pedi appointment was good and uneventful. Colin weighs 17 lb 5 oz (he has dropped down to roughly 30% there, but dr. said that's normal with all the new physical activity he's doing.. oh, and that week where he refused to eat probably didn't help). He's 26.5 in. long (50%) and his noggin is 45 cm, (50-75%). He got three more shots, but gets a break on those now til his 1 year appointment. As Dr. Caldwell said, "You're growing up too fast, Colin!"
