Things went well at the doctor’s today.
\n Lex is now weight 16lbs 5oz, which is the 78th percentile for
\n weight, and he’s 24 1\/2″ long. She said that he seemed like a
\n very healthy and happy baby (he “talked” to her almost the
\n whole time) and that his sitting and standing skills were onpar
\n with that of a 6 month old. He’s such a strong baby. We have to
\n start giving him vitamin D supplements, because they recommend
\n that all babies take them. The supplement is called ACD, named,
\n aptly so, for the vitamins it includes. He took his shots like
\n a champ, though I think he got suspicious when Alan and I each
\n held and arm and started talking to him while two nurses each
\n held down a leg. He was crying before the needle was out of its
\n sheath. Poor boy. He’s sleeping it off now. We go back in
\n November for a 6 month check up, and we’ll discuss solids then.
\n She recommends waiting until then, and Alan and I were both
\n fine with that. He’s doing just fine on milk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
