Colton had his 6 month checkup today. While he hasn't grown as much as mom and dad thought he had (he now weighs in at 15 pounds, 15 oz. and is 26 and a half inches long), the doctor was pleased with his progress. She also assured everyone (**mom**) that Colton's speaking of syllables will come with time and that he is developmentally doing fantastically. At the end of his appointment, Colton had to get his shots, including his flu shot. Mom and dad gave him some Tylenol afterwards to hopefully ward off a fever (fingers crossed). One of the more exciting tidbits from the doctor is that Colton is now able to eat soft foods of any of the foods he has tried (ie: he can eat actual bananas...they don't have to be his jarred bananas) and that he can now eat Cheerios. So, of course, Mom sent Dad to the store for Cheerios as soon as they got home. Colton LOVES his Cheerios; it took him a little bit to figure out what they are for, and he still is having little success actually getting them to his mouth, but when they do make it there, man are they tasty!
