At his check up Christopher weighed 15 lbs 7 oz and was 25" long. His weight has finally gone up some and he's now in the 10-25 %. His height is still down in the 10th percentile. But both are following the growth chart nicely. His head is up in the 75th percentile! He's a smart pants :-)
We got the ok to give him basically any real food except things with nuts, honey or that may be a choking hazard (like grapes and small items). I didn't realize meat and dairy were ok so early so I was a little suprised. Christopher was excited!! He has now tried these new things in addition to all the fruits and veggies: pork chops, mac n cheese, ground beef, vanilla baby yogurt. He loves it all! He's not crazy about green beans, but everything else is good. I've just been grinding whatever we are eating up in the food processor and serving it up. He prefers it chunky and when I've given him stage 2 Gerber foods, he sort of drools them out since they are so much thinner. The new stuff is allowing him to chew which is pretty funny to watch since he has no teeth!!
He's doing much better on tummy time these days too and has started skootching a little and turning over a lot both back to tummy and tummy to back. He still struggles with sitting, mostly I think because his head is so much bigger than his body. He basically still folds in half when you sit him down, although he's trying to put his arms down to support himself. He'll get it when he's ready!
Audrey has gone off to Paris, TX with her daddy and step mom for the summer. It's always weird around here when she is gone...a lot less stuff to do. But Christopher loves watching and playing with her so much, I can tell he misses her. We've got FaceTime and Skype set up so she will be able to call us and call Christopher while she's gone.
