Nathan had his second well-baby check today and he is growing so big. He weighs 16lbs 2.5 oz (50th percentile) and is 26 3/4 inches long (91st percentile). His doctor is very pleased with his growth and development so far. She said that we can start giving him veggies when we think he is ready, so we might start that this weekend. Yesterday we found that he enjoys gumming carrot sticks. I guess the cold and hard texture feels good on his gums where the very stubborn tooth is hanging out. Still no progress there, but we’ve been told to be patient because it can take a while. Nathan was also very interested in the popcorn I was eating last night and kept trying to grab it out of the bag. Daddy had to hold the bag away from him because he was being quite persistent.

Nate received 4 shots today. He took them like a champ and only cried for a couple seconds. We came home and after having a 6 oz. bottle he is fast asleep.

Hopefully he will feel better this afternoon. It is a very nice day here, perfect for dinner and shopping on the Plaza.

Daddy also had a check-up yesterday with his cardiologist. Everything looks really good - EKG, blood pressure, etc. He was told to keep up with what he is doing and continue exercising and eating healthy.

Yay for good health!
