an apple a day

keeps the doctor away? Not when you're a baby! This past Friday we headed to see Dr. Gamelin for Cole's 6 month doctors appointment. He's actually 6 1/2 months now, but it was the soonest that we could get it. He's a healthy, happy, growing boy. 28 1/4 inches long (92nd percentile) and 17 lb 12oz (47th percentile). Long and skinny! He got three more shots, which he handled pretty well and it didn't seem to affect his mood as much in the days afterwards this time. We talked with Dr. Gamelin mostly about food (how much and how often should we be feeding him, what things can we give him and when) and skin stuff (Cole has had some dry patches on his legs, but they have gotten better with the use of some great lotion that Brad and Mercedes gave us). So, all in all, a good visit.

Cole does enjoy apples, even if they don't keep the doctor away. I think it probably feels good on his teeth. He's definitely getting at least one new one in right now. He's been chewing on everything in sight!
