Baby Doctor Appointments

Aiden, Allergies, Baby Joey, Solids
How could I forget to document them??? Friday afternoon we took Aiden and Joey for their regular appointments. Let's see, Joey is 26 inches, and over 17 pounds.  50% in both height and weight, which is kinda small for our boys at this stage, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with him needing more solids than he's getting, so I'm trying to amp that up. We got the OK for all foods accept Honey (which is a "no brainer" in the 21st century).  He's healthy all around.  He got 6 shots, three in each thigh, so that night and Saturday morning were pretty rough, but he's back to normal now.
