John went for his 6 month check up yesterday. Everything is great. his stats:
weight = 17 lbs and 15.5 oz (57%)
height = 27.5 inches (82%)
head circum. = 17.5 inches (68%)
Dr. Kessinger opened up his menu to include table foods except for eggs, fish, nuts and honey. He wants us to start letting John feed himself (with his hands of course) at the highchair - the dogs are going to LOVE this!
We asked the Dr. about the crib bumpers (as they have never been in since John started sleeping in his crib) and he said not to put them now because of choking hazard. So I suppose we will have to continue to let John CHEW on the crib rails! Spending a fortune on monogrammed bumpers was a very pitiful first time parent mistake - I think the 2nd child will be lucky to get a sheet, much less bumpers! :)
Sadly, our hope of minimal tooth pain has gone. John has his 2 bottom teeth, but with the Dr.'s help yesterday, we were able to see very swollen top gums; and John has not been sleeping well at all. However, last night he slept until 6:00am this morning... cross your fingers.

LOVE the new look on the blog! I'm sorry to hear about JRJ's teeth. Hopefully he will get a reprieve in between new sprouts. We found a great crib protector at BRU. It's just one long roll of plastic gummy-type material (totally safe though, none of those BPAs or whatever) that you can cut to fit the different rails. We discovered this only after Kaitlin had made quite a few indentions in her crib. We needed something when we came in one morning and she had furniture finish all over her teeth and face. Delicious.
