6 Month Check Up & Starting Solids

Chase had his 6 month check-up on Wednesday. He weighed 13 pounds, 15 ounces, and was 25 3/8 inches long. He's not on the chart in weight (one ounce short) and he's in the 25th percentile in height. When Eli was 6 months old, he weighed 17 lbs, 7 oz. So, Chase is quite a bit smaller than Eli. The doctor is not concerned about his weight. He is gaining and is not falling lower on the chart. We'll see what his cardiologists says next month.

Chase is sitting, but needs a little help with balance at times. I am so happy with his progress and look forward to seeing this little guy grow and develop! : )

Chase was approved to start solids this week. We started with rice cereal and bananas. He is not a fan of either. Today we tried pears....same story. I thought he would love eating b/c he loves to watch us eat. He licks his lips over and over as we are eating. I'm sure he'll get there, but for now, he's not a fan! A few pictures from the attempt to give him some pears.....

Chase always looks very confused when I put him in the highchair.
See....not a fan!
