Here's the rundown on his 6 month check-up:
-got 3 shots & one oral vaccination (why can't they all be done orally?...so much easier)
-last ear infection STILL not totally gone (even though the medicine he was on was supposed to be stronger), so trying yet another medicine...if this pattern of ear infections doesn't end soon we'll be sent to an ENT doctor to discuss having tubes put in. we'll go in on June 15th for the doc to take a look at his ears again to make sure this medicine worked.
-14 pounds 12 ounces...that's not even a pound up from his 4 month appt.-the doc wants to keep an eye on the weight but thinks it may just be genetics since he has no problem eating and certainly gets enough food. he did suggest adding more baby food to his feedings (he gets fruit or veggies w his 10am feeding & some rice cereal before bedtime) so it looks like we'll be adding food to his bedtime feeding-and we can start meats now too...yummy
-27.5 inches...that's an inch and a half longer than he was at 4 months! still long and lean, but hopefully we can add a little more weight to him
-doc noticed that one eye is still turning in a little bit but the eye doc said this may happen for a few months after the surgery...hopefully it won't be a problem anymore when we go back to the eye doc in august
In other news, Reed is about to take off crawling. Here's a link for a video my sister-in-law took (sometimes the audio comes on before the visual so just hang with it for a second):

What a cutie :)
Continued prayers for his eyes to heal correctly, as well as his ears. Next check-up...9 months.
