Another milestone and 6 month well check
I think one of the hardest things about being a working mom are the "firsts" that I've missed. Wednesday, Riley figured out how to flip onto his stomach from his back. Of course he does this while I'm at work. It was still amazing to see and he did it for me when I got home later that evening. What a stinker. He loves his mommy but there is no doubt in my mind that he is a daddy's boy. They are so cute together and my heart fills with pride when I see them together. Riley had his 6 month wellness check yesterday. It couldn't have come at a better time since the poor thing has been pooping nuggets. He happened to poop right before the dr walked in so I was able to show her. She suggested to increase his fluids so to give him pedialyte between feedings. It's starting to get warm down here and he is becoming more active thus the need for more fluids. He's still on the small sign but seems to be developing normally. The dr said that he is a little underweight and gave his a layout of a new feeding regimen. We will be adding oatmeal to his diet this weekend. Right now we have upped his rice cereal and he's eating about 4 tablespoons of it (before I add the milk so it is probably twice as much). He seems to be doing well with it. He's now just a little over 25 inches and weighs 13 lb 14 oz. Yesterday evening, Tony got Riley's footprints tattooed on his arm. It looks really good.
