Almost 7 months!

Caden was 16 pounds at his 6 month appointment, which put him in the 21st percentile for weight! He can now sit up with support, smiles and "talks" to us all the time, and even ate a full "meal" of cereal this evening.  We've been trying baby food off and on for about a month now, but with minimal luck. We were very excited when he finished his bowl of cereal tonight!  He is taking much more interest in toys, and tries to put everything in his mouth.  He isn't rolling over yet, but has come very close and expect him to make it over any day now!

In less exciting news, Caden had an appointment with a urologist yesterday (7/27) because his pediatrician was worried about how his circumcision healed.  The urologist agreed that it didn't heal well, and he will need minor surgery to repair it (in and out in 1 day).  Unfortunately, the surgeon only performs surgery in Kansas City (but does consults and follow up appointments in Wichita).  Caden will have surgery in October.  We talked to a parent who's son just had the surgery, and she was VERY positive about the hospital and experience in KC.  Apparently Caden misses the hospital and wasn't getting enough love from his doctors and needed to add another ;)  He was 17.2 pounds at this appointment which means he gained 1.2 pounds in less than 3 weeks!
