6 mo checkup / solid food!
So Rachel took him in for his 6 month checkup yesterday and he ended up weighing in at 17lbs 10oz - exactly 50% in weight. I forget how tall she said he was but he was in the 95th percentile for that, but only 10th percentile for his head circumference. These are against typical babies which explains the height and head circumference differences. We're off thr Zantac cold turkey to see if he will have any acid reflux, but still on the flonase. We also started him on solid food purees yesterday.
He had his first spoonfuls of pureed squash and seemed to enjoy it. Considering it was his first time being spoon fed anything, he did pretty good. He doesn't quite open his mouth all the way yet, but I think he'll get the hang of it pretty soon. He nearly ate the whole gerber package and we were hoping to maybe get him to eat half of it.
Tomorrow we head up to Greenville, SC for our intake interview with the Shriner's hospital to see if he'll qualify for care. Its not too bad of a drive and we'll be heading up and back the same day.
