Shrinking Baby

We went to the Dr. on Friday for Al's 6 month apt. and Al is 15lb 13 oz and 26 3/4 inches. This means he is in the 50th %ile for height and 25th %ile for weight... this is a big drop from the 4 month apt., but the Doc doesnt seem concerned. I mean I cant force feed him and he just will not eat very much these days. (Well.. ever)... he jsut doesnt have a big appetite! I think I may have to go to giving him smaller bottles more frequently bc he just will not take an 8 oz bottle all at once.
I am excited though to start feeding him more variety. I made greenbeans and peas over the weekend and grandma is going to feed him some plain yogurt this morning. He doesnt even know what he has coming to him!
On a sad note... Grandma and Al only have one more Monday together as she is going to have to go back to work 5 days a week to save some vacation time for the new baby. Al will miss his Grandma's undivided attention on Monday's, but they will still see eachother on Sunday's so all is not lost!

Remember...that's the same thing Winnie got at her 8 month appt. Those doctors are full of crap, I think. It all worked itself out, though, because yesterday at church I kept hearing, "look at that tummy!" (I guess they could have been talking to me...but they were talking to Winnie) I used to hear what a skinny little girl she was. I think Al is perfect.

Al is perfect! I'm sorry to hear that he isn't going to get his Grandma on Monday's anymore, that is a big bummer... We are all excited for Al's newest cousin though... Hope everyone is doing good! Love ya!
