F/U 6 month appointment

Just got back from our 6 month appointment.
All good news. Mikey is 27.5 inches and 19 lbs 15 oz. 90th and 95th percentiles respectively. Still no idea where he's getting his size from, but glad I've managed to feed him so well.
Pedi told us to start solids - 1 week of rice cereal, 1 week of wheat then 1 week of oats. Then 3 weeks of green veg, 1 veg a week, followed by yellow veg, then by fruit. Seems much more complicated than I'm sure it is.
The only negative is that M's got a lump on his palette. It hasn't grown since we noticed it months ago and the pedi thinks it's just a benign cyst or blood vessel, but we still need to have it checked out.
He seems to be doing well with the shots since he tolerated a trip to the cafe with my dad. He's sleeping now after having a bit of lunch.
This discussion has been closed.
Re: F/U 6 month appointment
Sorry about the lump on his palette. I hope it goes away on its own--even benign cysts are not fun.
And have fun with the solids. It really IS fun once your baby enjoys eating. Aaron absolutely loves food--will make "Mmmmmm" and "Yummmm" sounds.
And if 20 lb (almost) is 95th percentile at 6 months, I wonder what Aaron will be at in 3 weeks since I *think* he's at that weight now. Oy!

Yay Mikey! Sorry about the lump - I hope it resolves itself soon.
DD makes some incredible faces while trying new veg, so hopefully you wll get to enjoy some from M as well. Of course, she freaking poses as soon as she sees the camera, so I can't get good photos of the faces.
I'm 5'1" and 130 lbs. DH is 5'10"-5'11" and 145-140 lbs. Hence the wonderment at his size.

No MMR today - think that's at a year. Today was DTAP and some meningitis vax.

Wow what a big boy! & wait til he starts with the slids, he'll probably be off the charts.
Yeah Robyn, I'm sure Aaron is off the charts already.
Sienna goes on Feb 1st. I think she slowed down with her growth a little because of a sick spell. But she been on solids for 3 weeks now. She is a riot. Loves food. Watch for orange poops after carrots.
We've got a lot of big boys on this board! I hope the lump issue turns out to be nothing, keep us posted.
Solids are so fun. The poops aren't, but it's such an adventure having our LOs try new foods. Have fun!
YAY for healthy big guy!!!!!
Orchid hated all cereal except for oatmeal, but loves veggies and fruit. You're cd, right? if so, the solids poops are MUCH easier to clean!
