Can you even believe that Harper is six months, that is half a year? I definitely can not. We went for his check up on Tuesday. Everything went well. We purposely scheduled the appointment with Dr. Thomas. She told one of our friends that their son needed to beef up, so I was hoping she would say the same for Harper. However, I also wanted her to tell me that we no longer had to give the bottle supplements. Well she increased them from 2 ounces to 3 ounces. She didn't even know about these bottles. Why did I bring it up. Probably because I love this little guy so much! So that means that I have to continue the 3 am pumping sessions. At least I have learned how to be productive during them. I have been working on my bible studies and reading books for book clubs. We have decided to try adding more formula to these bottles. At the suggestion of Amy, we are trying a 2:1 ratio. This seems to be working well and Harper hasn't been too bothered by that. We are also feeding him solids twice a day. Get ready to see a plump Harper soon!
We now have a boy who eats solids. He still wants nothing to do with it. Hopefully he will catch on soon. I can't believe how many things are needed for this new experience. We are going through so many bowls, spoons, bibs, clothes and wash clothes. Another thanks to Amy for telling me about plastic wipeable bibs and paper towels. Why can't I think of these simple things on my own! Here are some pictures from the first feeding experience.
Sorry the video is mostly Allen and I laughing!

Ok, for a minute I thought you were talking about me (because you know I can't remember what I say). Don't worry he will love solids soon!
