The doctor visit went well. He weighs 17 lbs, 6 oz, is 26.25 inches long, and has a big giant head. Totally average on weight and length and the 95th percentile for head size. However, the doctor thinks it's tapering off and his body should do some catching up soon. I hope so! It's gotten very obvious lately just how ginormous his noggin has gotten. Lots of brains! Or air! But hopefully brains!
Anyhow, he had two more shots and handled them pretty well. All body parts checked out. We discussed food and we are definitely starting him on solids this week. Rice cereal for a few more days (the first few tries haven't been fantastic) and then we'll start with a veggie over the weekend. I'm planning to make at least some of his food, being the awesome chef I am (NOT!), so it will be interesting. We also discussed sleep habits and we were told that we need to toughen up and let Evan cry a bit at night instead of feeding him. There is no reason he should need to eat in the middle of the night at his age. We need to break him of the habit now, while it's still relatively easy. Sigh. He has already learned to manipulate me, so I guess it's time I learn to take control. It's going to be a fun few nights.
Oh, and new pictures are up at Shutterfly!
