6th Month Checkup

I took Benny in last week for his 6th month checkup.  Here is a picture of him before we saw the doctor:



Anyway, everything was great!  Here are his current stats:

Weight: 17 lbs, 9 oz - (50th percentile)
Height: 27.5 inches - (75th - 90th percentile)
Head Circumference: 17.5 inches (50th percentile)

He even did a great job with his shots.  He cried, of course, but not as much before.  It seems to get a little easier for him each time.

The appointment wasn't too eventful.  We discussed Ben's lack of interest in food, and she suggested we stick with rice cereal every day until he is used to the texture.  I can already tell it is getting a little less strange for him, so hopefully soon we can start adding in other foods again.  She basically said there was no "eating emergency".  Phew!

And the next appointment isn't until he hits 9 months - nice to have 3 months in between instead of 2.
