Jordon's Appt

Well, things went well for Jordon's 6 month appointment. He is now 16 lbs 12.5 oz and 26 inches long. The doctor said he's doing well even though on the charts he is at a stopping point for growing but within a few weeks he'll be getting bigger. He's enjoying his food a lot, i've been giving him water to help him with digesting the solids since he's been constipated lately. and he loves water. I gave him 3 oz of water last night and he drank it up so well. This week we're buying a sippy cup to introduce him to that. The only thing the doctor did say was that we should go to a craniologist since Jordon's right side is a bit flat and so we need to see if we can fix that either by different sleeping positions or by getting a band for him to correct it. I know research says to not put babies on their tummy to sleep because of the risk of sids but i think he should be ok with it at least during his naps during the day. i check on him a lot and he does just fine. at night time i'm now putting him in the sleep positioner thing i used when he was little to try to keep his head from tilting to his favored side. Cross your fingers we don't have to get him a band or a helmet. Jordon is now going to 2 naps a day. He goes down around 7-8 at night, wakes up around 5 am, goes back to sleep until 8 and then takes his first nap around 10:30 and then his afternoon nap is from 2-4:30. He likes to see and play with many things.

I'm feeling much better, the dr today said that my ear infection is gone and that its all better, but that i might have allergies right now, its pretty bad here in texas this year. so i have to put nose drops in. but other than that we're doing good. Chris and i are quite busy with life but doing good. We enjoyed General Conference this weekend, we were able to have Mom and Dad and Kacey and Megan come over in between the sessions on Sunday to have a little linner. We sure enjoyed all the talks and hope you did too. It's always an adjustment with a new prophet, but Monson is doing a great job. We hope you're all doing well, sorry we didn't call, happy birthday to Ellen and Allison! Take care!
