Check up!

We had Cal's 5 month check up last week (still can't believe he is already 5 months!). We got off with our doctor appointments since we had to push up one so he could get shots before we flew to Arizona. It was a great visit and I just LOVE our doctor.

Here are some of the stats:

weight: 17 pounds, 5 ounces (my arm muscles are beginning to show this!) (63rd percentile)

height: 25.5 inches (they had a really hard time with his height since he was jumping all over the place as they were measuring him, so the doctor doesn't think this number is accurate....)

head circumference: a whopping 45.1 cm (93rd percentile)-- he's got a big noggin!

We were given the green light to start with rice cereal, but it was suggested we wait until we get back from Costa Rica as that might slow my milk production (if he is eating less milk and more cereal), and we don't want to have to take rice cereal on our trip. We are keeping it as easy as possible traveling with him-- the last thing we want is a baby with an upset tummy in a foreign country! So, we will hold off on this until we get back!

That's about it for the check up! Little man is growing like crazy and is so curious to his surroundings. He reallllly wants to crawl. I took a video of him trying earlier today and will try to post later on....
