5 months old!

Tyler starting eating rice cereal a few weeks ago. He seemed to like it (at least what made it in his mouth). We had already been putting a teaspoon in his bottle before bed for about a month now. Our pediatrician recommended doing this since he wasn't sleeping very well. It really did seem to help but his eczema has been a lot worse lately so we decided to try not giving it to him to see if that helped. It's been a week now and we think his skin looks quite a bit better. I just realized today that he also hasn't had apple juice in a week. (The doctor had us give him a bottle with water and a little apple juice when he was taking his iron medication- thank goodness that's done). So, now we're not sure if it might be the rice cereal or the apple juice... we are going to give it another week or so and then try the rice cereal again. Poor guy- so many allergies in the family!
Tyler turned 5 months old on the 24th of October. I just weighed him and he is 16.5 lbs. He is such a big boy- everyone looks at him and thinks he is older than he is.

Going for a walk....
