Growing Like Gangbusters

Davis had his 6-month appointment today. He is a healthy kid -- weighing 18 lbs 7 oz (75th percentile) and measuring 27 3/4 inches (95th percentile)! The doctor said his ear infection was cleared up, so I am starting on some sleep training ASAP! Last night I only got about an hour of sleep at a time, and I am beat! It will be hard to let Davis cry, but I've GOT to do it! We both need better sleep.

Today I let Davis try a new food -- sweet potatoes! He has been eating rice cereal for over a month, and he absolutely loves it! He's not so keen on the sweet potatoes... We would have tried new foods sooner, but the doctor thought it best not to start new foods while he was already sick, and since he's had diarrhea and an ear infection for several weeks... let's just say I've been dying for him to try the foods I stocked in my cupboard weeks ago!
