I am officially 6 months old. I am eating solid food, and boy am I putting it away; I have two teeth coming in; and I am almost crawling. I have my pediatrician visit in about another week and Mom and Dad are fairly sure that I am pushing 20 pounds. I have accomplished a lot in a very short time!
I started eating real food about a week ago. I began with carrots, and I never looked back. No more formula for me! (Well, maybe just a bit of formula.) By the second day of solid food, I ate an entire jar of carrots in one sitting. I had bananas after that, and that first day I ate the entire thing! The spinach I didn’t like quite so much, but I ate it nonetheless. And now I’m trying avocados. I have to eat everything for three full days, excluding all other foods, to make sure that I don’t have an allergic reaction to it. But since I had rice quite a while ago-Mom and Dad tried rice for me a few months ago to see if it would help me sleep through the night-they sometimes mix the rice in with my veggies. At this rate, though, in a few weeks, I’ll have a good list of things that I am eating and I can mix them all together if I want.
And Mom just discovered two teeth in my mouth! I was munching on her finger and she felt that two teeth had broken through on the bottom. I’ve been happy and not-at-all fussy lately, so I guess that the teething-thing isn’t bothering me too much. We’ll see, though. Maybe when more of the teeth come through, or maybe when the top ones come in, maybe then I’ll feel it more.
But until then, I’m going to work on my crawling and eating. I’m propelling myself forward and backward fairly well, but I don’t really pull my legs underneath my body yet. I just kick and dig my knees into the ground to get myself moving. Anyway, it works! I end up making my way to the toy that I want, when I am on the floor. So, it’s all good!
Check back in in a bit,
