He weighed 14 lbs 2 oz (50th percentile), and was 25 1/2 in. long (75th percentile). Right where he should be, and we couldn't be more pleased! He also gave us the go ahead on rice cereal, so we'll give that a shot tomorrow.
He is still smiling tonight because he didn't have to get any shots. The surgeons advised us not to get any immunizations 6 wks prior to or after his surgery. The bypass machine that they will use on his surgery has a filter that would filter out any immunizations given that close to surgery. He is right on the border of the 6 wks, but we felt that it would be best to leave him be, and not have to give him another needlestick/blood draw to check a titer on them. So he will recieve his shots at his 9 month check up. It seems a long ways off, but it will be here before we know it. He still is not rolling over, but we're not too concerned about that, it'll happen soon. We are so happy for Alex and so greatful for your prayers and love!

Sooo cute! I agree time is flying and I wish it would stop for a little. Glad he's doing so good.
I am so happy for Alex and your family! He is such a strong little boy...he must get it from his parents! :) I can't believe how big he is, I think Kaylee barely weighs 14 lbs...so that is great, he will be nice and strong for his surgery!
Yay! That's great! I love his big smile! What a cutie. Both your boys are adorable, watch out one of these days the girls will be beating down your door to get to them! :)
