Finally Spoon-Fed.

Ever since we got back from France, Mommy has been spiking the breast milk with cereal GongGong and PoPo got for me in France.

So, yes, I am eating “solids,” but it’s kind of cheating when you “drink solids” from a bottle.

So, Mommy tried feeding me with a spoonful of cereal dabbed with a small amount of breast milk and it actually worked!  At first, I was exhibiting some tongue thrusts, but then I started to understand the concept of swallowing.  I’ll wrinkle my brow a bit because this cereal does taste a bit funny when it’s served on a spoon.   Mommy diligently feeds me about 1 tablespoon a day using a cool spoon made in Japan by a company called Pigeon given to her by Aunt Ching-Chun.  Thank you, Auntie ChingChun…the soft-coated spoon is perfectly wonderful!

Daddy (who, by the way, NEVER ventures into Whole Foods for anything) went to Whole Foods to buy me some Baby Yum Yum.

It is a cool rice cracker for people like me…babies! Thanks to Auntie Ching-Chun for this idea too.  I like it, but I tend to break it into smaller pieces and Bossie ends up following me around trying to get a piece of the Yum Yum cracker.

My 6-Month Check-Up

I saw Dr. Gita Reddy again today for my 6-month check-up.  As always, she is always very nice to me and somehow she and Mommy always start talking “medical talk” which I don’t understand.

Good news is that I’ve grown…(I know what you’re thinking Aunt Gi, surpise…surprise…).  Mommy and Daddy thought I’d be over 20 pounds, but I’m just a little shy from that estimate.

My weight is 19 pounds, 7 ounces (82% tile).

My height is 27 inches (73% tile).

My head circumference is 18 inches (92% tile).

The head circumference is little on the high side.  I know I have a big head, but I heard Mommy and Dr. Reddy talking about how we need to watch my head size to make sure I don’t have hydrocephalus.  I thought having a big head was a good thing…but I guess not TOO big. 

I had three shots today too and now that my pain receptors are in full working order, the shots hurt like the dickens!  I cried and cried, but as soon as Daddy picked me up and hugged me, I was okay.  I think I’m pretty brave for getting three shots in my thigh.
