Baby Shower and Crawling

Today was Megan's baby shower. We got a few pics at the shower. I'm also posting some pics I have from Easter and some video I have gotten over the last week showing Joaquin crawling. Earlier this week Joaquin had to go to the doctor to recheck his ears and have his 9 month checkup even though he isn't quite 9 months yet. He weighed 20 1/2 lbs and is 29 inches long. The doctor said his ear infection is gone, so that's good :) We have to wait until he is 12 months before switching him off of the Alimentum formula though. His doctor recommended switching to soy milk and when he is 14-16 months old we can start trying to switch to regular milk. She said we can try giving him yogurt and cheese at 12 months as well. The other day I gave him something that I didn't realize had dry milk and buttermilk in it... and instantly he had hives where it had touched him. We just put some cortisone cream on it and he was fine, but he definitely is still allergic to milk right now. Even when he had the hives he didn't cry, just was scratching a lot. He keeps amazing me as to how easy going and happy of a baby he is!

With Megan.... she's gotta get used to this :)

Lately it seems Joaquin always has his tongue like this... but often he is also grabbing it with his hands.
