Appointments

Monday was preemie clinic ~ everything looks good. OT says that in the next month or so, we're supposed to start working with a sippy cup. Jax and I went today and got a few and tried one. Apparently, they're fun to chew on and if you happen to get a drink at the same time that's just a bonus. We go back to see Dr. Jay and Megan (OT) in January.

Tuesday was the 6 month check up ~ more goodness. Jaxon weighed 15 pounds, 13 ounces. He was 25.75 inches long. I guess everything looks good, but he's a little on the short side now (!) and and could be a half pound chubbier. We've gotten the green light to feed him whatever he'll eat. We're still working through fruits and vegetables, though, before we move onto meat and stuff. We'll see the pediatrician again in January also.

Thursday was Jaxon's eye appointment ~ again, no problems. The doctor said that unless his eyes start crossing or wandering, we don't have to have him into an eye doctor again until he's preschool age. She also told me that if he is tall when he's older, he'll probably be nearsighted? I didn't realize there was a correlation between your sight and your height?

So...he's healthy, happy, and growing. And CUTE!

Jaxon has started to get excited when Josh comes in the door from work. His face lights up and he will stare at his daddy until he finally picks Jax up. It is adorable. I think it makes his daddy feel pretty good,too. If Josh walks out of his sight before picking him up for hugs and kisses, Jax will start to cry (this is almost guaranteed to happen everyday, since Josh has to wash the nastiness from work off his hands first!)
