The Weigh In

Six months and my boy is a champ. Doctor says he thinks he's a 9 month old. When we were at the library last week, Leo took hold of a toy box and pulled himself up. Massive strength to match his massive thighs. He's weighing in at 17.15 these days.

A couple of weeks ago we started some solids: mashed banana. He grabs a hold of the bowl and spoon with such ferocity. He's completely rejected carrots and is lukewarm to apples. Now that we are full force ahead with food, I'll be prepping him some butternut squash, pears, avocado and sweet potato as other baby appetizers.
 

 

Doctor just told me this morning about the ever-evolving 'rules' of feeding. In the past there were hesitations on eggs, soy, berries, fish until later. Not like I'm going to be grinding down shrimp cocktail, but certainly good to know there's flexibility. We have received the green light to all food types with the exception of honey...and copy paper.
