5 Month Miller Stats

Today we had Miller's 5 month check up. Here are the stats:

Height: 28 1/4 inches
Weight: 18lbs 5ozs

He's still maintaining his 100%+ height and 90% weight. So far, he's on track and doing what he's supposed to be doing. The doctor said we could think about introducing rice cereal this month but since he's doing so well, to hold out. BTW, the best comment was "This will make the grandparent's happy...you could start him on some rice cereal. I am sure they have been bugging you about it." That was right on the money.

The other funny thing is how the doctors at this office tell you the new "trends" and what used to be the trend. For instance, the doctor mentioned today that after we introduce cereal, to start on some veggies because Parent magazine is telling us that rather than the sweet fruits our parents fed us. I like how they tell us what the newest studies say and that sometimes it's ok to do the opposite.

Miller did well with his shot. He actually cried when the doctor checked his ears because he had to hold him down (wiggle worm). The shot was uneventful. Plus, I am pretty sure it helped he had the cute nurse. She thinks he's a cutie and came back for tickles while we were checking out. He also thought the paper on the exam table was the best toy in the world. This kid's getting tissue paper for Christmas and nothing else. LOL!

Enough about Miller. We came home tonight and quickly ate a great dinner prepared by our babysitters (Jess and Jerry), gave Miller a bath, and said "good luck." We went to the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert. It was fantastic (minus about 3 slow songs). The lights were amazing and I honestly am over stimulated from them. I am afraid to close my eyes because I think I will still see the flashing lights, lazers, smoke, flames, fireworks, etc.

The only poopy deal about tonight was that we actually paid to park at the BAC because of Ryan being on crutches. $20 to park is absolutely highway robbery. Oh well. At least we parked semi close, were able to use the escalator and the secret elevator on the way out. All in all, a good day.
