In with the new...

Today we went for Mark's 6 month check up.  He now weighs 15 pounds 8 ounces and is 26 inches long.  We went to a new practice today since we now live in the suburbs and driving to the city to see his other dr just seemed plain crazy!  I got a reccomendation for this dr from a few moms from the mom's group I belong to.  He was wonderful!!  He was very relaxed and interacted really well with Mark.  Mark was laughing and giggling and seemed to really love him :)  He was also wonderful about delaying vaccinations and leaving some out.  I felt really comfortable with him and love his methods.  He said that Mark is sitting extremely well for his age and he would not be surprised if he was crawling in 2-3 weeks!  I can't even imagine him crawling :)  He also suggested that we start using a sippy cup.  I was shocked by this...I guess I didn't picture him with a sippy cup until he was a toddler.  I had no idea it started this early but I guess we will give it a try!  We tried carrots again tonight and he still made a few faces but ate half a jar!  I think he's getting used to the taste and the different textures.  I can't belive how quickly he is growing and changing!
