Reese's 6 month appointment was two days ago but...
he was .j.u.s.t under 19lbs Shocked . he's growing quick and fast!
he got two shots, one in each leg. the nurse who gave him his shot told me that it was her first time giving a baby at his age a shot. and he made her feel like dog doo... he screamed and was fine then screamed and was okish but whimperd abit. then he got his bottle... sad thing.... he's got exema Crying or Very sad i feel so bad about it, because it sucks and i know he got it from my side of the family. now im scared he'll have asthma because excema and asthma go togeather as a package normally Crying or Very sad

My four year old has had eczema since he was about the same age as your little one. Luckily for us, he doesn't have the asthma to go along with it, so there is something to give you hope that Reese won't either. I know you said that it runs in your family, but if you ever need any tips on dealing with it, I'll be glad to help.

what did he weigh at his last appointment? it sounds like he's evening out a bit, i thought he'd weigh more. finn was 18.5 pounds at 4 1/2 months, so i'm expecting him to be around 21 at his appointment.

that's too bad about the eczema, hopefully he won't get asthma. i didn't know those had anything to do with each other.

no not yet and im heading to bed so im not uploading them right now...
.B at his last appontment he was just under 17 i think it was. so he's gained 2lbs, i swore he weighed more, i was thinking he would be 21lbs! everytime people around here ask how old he is and i say 6 months they're all like Shocked Shocked "wow what a big boy" then they look at me and shawn all confused... i think its kinda funny..
