Cole is 7 months old today. I have NO IDEA where the past 7 months have gone. It seemed to take a really long time for Quinn to reach this milestone, but here we are already with Cole!
We took CJ for his 6 month shots a week and a half today and he also got weighed and measured then as well. He weighs 16.6 lbs and is 67.2 cm long. He's dropped down a bit from his 50th percentile curve, but the doctor said that he looks healthy and is clearly thriving, so she's not worried. He'll get weighed again at his 9 month appointment, and there aren't any shots that he needs for that one. Q and CJ both got their first dose of their flu vaccines then as well and were total champs! So that was doctor appointment #1...fast forward a week and we were back at the doctor regarding Quinn's skin. We had been thinking that she had eczema, but it never has really gotten better and we've been dealing with it for the past 18 months or so. Now we're just waiting to hear from the dermatologist at CHEO and an allergist for her referral appointments. We're really anxious to hopefully get to the bottom of her issue and nip it in the bud. Right now we have to keep on bathing her every other day and making sure to keep her skin hydrated with cream. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it all, so that's a good thing!
We FINALLY seem to have gotten CJ a little more used to solids. He was definitely not a fan of carrots, green beans, or parsnips - all of those options elicited gagging. Finally he seemed to really like the apple/pear with cinnamon combination - thank goodness! Cinnamon seems to be the key to his heart, as he also likes sweet potato that was cooked with cinnamon. Phew!
