12 Month Checkup

We had Anthony's 1 year wellness appointment today with Dr. Eden! Anthony is as healthy as ever! He weighed in at 19 lbs and 14 oz and measured 28 3/4" long! Dr. Eden checked his ears and they are still infection free! He got two vaccinations today for measles and chickenpox which he handled like a champ. Barring any other sickness, we don't have to go back until 15 months old (August).

6 Month Checkup

Anthony went for his 6 month checkup today. As always, Dr. Eden marveled at how well he is doing. He now weighs in at 15lbs and 14oz and measures 26 inches long! Dr. Eden said that we can add any soft, mushable table foods to Anthony's diet in addition to his fruits and veggies. So he tried peach yogurt today! He also got 2 vaccines, the DTap and Polio.

After his appointment, we went to Target and had his 6 month photos taken as well as a family photo. They looked awesome and I'll post them once we have a CD of the images!

4 Month Checkup

Today was Anthony's 4 month checkup with Dr. Eden! Again, he is in perfect health and growing rapidly! He weighs in at 14 lbs and is 25 inches long! He got another round of vaccinations today, the same ones as last time. He was a champ and only cried for about 5 minutes afterwards and then he fell asleep. Dr. Eden also gave us the go ahead to start giving Anthony solid foods! We're starting with cereal this week and moving on to green vegetables (peas and green beans) next week! We're going to start tonight, so I'll probably post later with a picture of the results of his first feeding! For now, here's a picture from the doctor:

We went to Anthony's two month doctor appointment this morning and he is in great health! He now weighs 10lbs 15oz and measures 23 1/4 inches long! He also got his first round of vaccinations, including three shots, which he did very well with! We'll go back to the doctor in September for his 4 month appointment.

After his doctor appointment, we went to four daycares in East Greenwich for tours. We narrowed it down to three, but one of those doesn't have an available spots for an infant for August, so we're down to two. Matt and I like both, but we each have a favorite so now it's just deciding on one.

Our last errand today was a meeting with Brother Boniface at St. Pius about Anthony's baptism. We're all set for July 13 and just have to get Anthony's godfather, Nick's, paperwork to the church. And here is his adorable baptism invitation:
