6 months and growing!

Ryan has his 6 month checkup today. He's growing up so fast!

Weight: 16 lbs. 8.5 ounces (which is 25 - 30th %)
Length: 26.75 inches (which is 50th %)

And Head Size: 46 Centimeters (which is 90th%)


So, he continues to be a giant head on a skinny body. But, he's SOOO cute! :)

He loves solids and he gets to start to eat more foods now that he's passed 6 months -- he can start to try meats and more 'stage 2' foods. I'm thinking turkey and sweet potato puree is on tap for Thanksgiving! :)

He still can't have the "allergy" foods -- like fish, shellfish, peanuts (or all nuts), egg white (who knew?). Egg yolk is ok though. He also gets to start 3 meals a day -- the breakfast, lunch and dinner thing. Next month, he can start on cheerios, so he can learn to chew stuff.

Fun times! :)
