6 month stats

Just a quick update since we went to the pediatrician today for Dax's 6 month appointment. Our child is growing like a weed. He is now 18 lbs. 12 oz (yikes!) which puts him in the 75th percentile in weight and is 27 1/2 inches long which puts him in the 88th percentile in height. He's a big boy! Just a reminder that at birth Dax was in the 10th percentile weighing 5 lbs. 4 oz and was 19 inches tall. I love my chubby baby! Apparently this is his "plump" time since he's eating solids but not mobile yet according to the doctor. Oh, and on the subject of food, he has now successfully tried the following: peas, green beans, broccoli, avocado, prunes, and bananas. We started with the greens first, the prunes were to help a *ahem* problem, and the bananas were an intro into the good stuff. He still eats oatmeal twice a day and loves it. Next on the list is pears, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples, and pumpkin. I'm making the majority of it myself which is quite fun. I love knowing what is going into his food. Oh, and he has tried a sippy cup. Loves to hold it and play with it. He does successfully drink from it here and there but most of the time just "chews" on the spout. Other fun facts are that he now sits for long periods of time unassisted, he is starting to scoot on his tummy a little, loves to turn around and around in his exersaucer, and thinks it's cool to make farting noises on his arm with his mouth. He hasn't quite rolled from his back to his tummy so he still sleeps on his back and still has a bit of a flat spot because of it. He is such a happy baby and smiles all the time!
