We took Keegan to the doctor today for his 6 month check up and as you can see he really, really wanted to eat the paper. He is doing all the right things, but we need to work on the sitting thing more...he just folds in half. He is still on the very tiny side so we need to plump him up a bit. We went to the gastroenternologist about a month ago and she thinks he has a protein allergy so we switched to a hypoallergenic formula, Neocate. He is now much happier when eating, but only eats on the low side of normal each day. We were able to get our appointment moved to this Thursday to follow up with the gastroenternologist with the hopes that we can start him on foods and we pray that will help him put the weight on. Other than that he is doing good. He can roll like crazy and really enjoys playing/eating his toys. He enjoys bath time, although now it is a bit more challenging for me...it is hard to wash his arms and legs and get them rinsed before he puts them in his mouth. His big news from the last week is that his bottom 2 teeth have broken through. (We were not expecting teeth so soon, Riley did not get her first tooth until she was 11 months old.)
