Dr Update (4/23 6 month appt)

This is a bit overdue, but the pole weighed in at 24lbs 5oz and 28.5in at his 6 month checkup. He has great balance and head control. He loves to play peakaboo, pinch Ursa's face, and pull grass up from the ground by its roots.

I hate to jinx it, but he is now sleeping through the night. He typically goes to bed ~6:30, and is waking up around 5:30-5:45. Once he wakes up, he is happy to turn on his fishtank (by himself) and watch the fish swim for ~15 minutes.

His new eating schedule is:
5:45am: 8oz bottle
6:15ish: 4oz fruit + sippy w/ water
9am: 6oz bottle
9:30: 3.5oz fruit + 1 tsp dry cereal + sippy w/ water
12pm: 6oz bottle
12:30: 3.5oz veg + 1 tsp dry cereal + sippy w/ water
3pm: 6oz bottle
5pm: 4oz oatmeal/fruit+ sippy w/ water
6pm: 2-3oz solid (fruit or veg or meat/carb)+ sippy w/ water
6:30pm: 6-8oz bottle

We are still making a few tweaks. The 6pm solid just started yesterday (otherwise it seems like he can't make it to 6:30 for his bottle) The oatmeal really seems to fill him up prior to bed so I hate to switch to a veg at that point. Maybe we'll start a 3pm veg snack instead of the 6pm fruit?
