So all along I have been thinking that Ryder was this chubby baby. Really he has ton's of rolls. But today he had his six month check up here are the stats:
Weight: 16 even (25%)
Height: 25 3/4 (25%)
Head: 17 (25-30%)
So he is not such chubby baby. The dr. did give me a little grief about not feeding him food yet. I mean no big deal but apparantely between 5 and 7 months you have a short window to teach them to eat properly or something. Really I have never heard this but I also have never not fed my babies food at four months. So we got on track tonight with sweet potatoes and rice cereal he was in love.
So three shots later and the rotovirus vaccine. Plus cutting two teeth at the moment. Gotta love being a parent.
The dr. also thinks he has really bad allergies because he has been so stuffed up for two months and nothing has developed (luckily)
I just love him it was absolutely precious he was giving the cutest little faces to the nurse right up until she stuck him and then he gave her the saddest look, she was like that was one of the worst faces I have ever seen. But he is happily resting now so hopefuly we aren't in for too long of a night!
Noah started speech today. It was a VERY interesting experience. Not bad just slightly frustrating. I have a really lame schedule and maybe I am selfish but it just seems like way too much work for 2 half hour sessions a week. Jeff says he needs it. Really I already think that him being in preschool has helped him soo much so I say bag it. We will see how this battle goes. But I must say going to this elementary school and dealing with all this drama has kind of made me question the school system....I think I get why people home school. Not that I am getting ANY ideas but I am just not ready for all of this.

I hate giving my babies food also. Sometimes it's almost easier to nurse them!! Scotty slept so well yesterday after his shots - hopefully Ryder will do the same!
I hate the drama of the school systems and I have heard so much of it from other moms.Not looking forward to it.
Okay Ryder is a hearty kid but remember Sawyer? He was a chub. Just from Trent's experience with speech I say do it--it has made a huge difference with him.
Maybe it is Ryder's round face and rolls that I expect him to weigh more.
I LOVE speech. It has been great for my boys. And really, with the weather being as nice as it has been, we have enjoyed sitting outside chatting with other moms for the 30 minutes. I hope they can change your schedule because I want you to enjoy it as much as I do.
mmmm. well seeing my profession you know where I stand on the school system :) you just cant let drama affect you...people try to make drama out of all of it....
in fact at my school its great. i think its the orange county school systems in my opinion that are drama. growing up in them i would know first hand.
Shots are the pits, but it sounds like all went well. And as for speech, sometimes they grow out of it and sometimes they don't. Lacey had a lateral lisp that she eventually grew out of. I used to watch a speech therapist's kids and she told me Lacey would need speech. She gave me a few ideas, I worked with her a little, and she is perfectly fine now. Sometimes I wonder if she would have grown out of it on her own, even without the few exercises we used to do. Good luck with that!
