Luke 6 month check up

Luke had his 6-month check up and got the all-clear. The doc actually said I should be nursing him more, which is strange because a different doc said to feed him less just three months ago. He's definitely not hurting for food, so I think he's perfectly healthy. He eats when he's hungry and lets me know when he's full, so I don't think I can do much better than that! He's so happy and smiley all the time, I think I would know if he was starving... :) Anyways, he got a few more vaccinations which is always harder on me than him. I actually teared up this time, it just kills me to see him in pain. That high-pitched squeal is just terrifying. But a little boob action and he's all calmed down. Thank goodness for nursing - it's the wonderdrug. Now we are well into teething. Luke is getting his top teeth. The gums are all purple and swollen. Last night he woke up at 10pm screaming like crazy. He's got a runny nose now too, but that's typical with teething. Poor little guy. Took about 20 minutes to calm him down and get him back to sleepyland. Keeping him loaded up on Tylenol seems to help quite a bit. He's loving his solid foods now - just tried bananas this morning and he's all about it. My little man is growing up!
