Ava went to her pediatrician on Monday for her six month checkup. Dr. Long was happy at Ava's progress and she is where she needs to be developmentally as far as her coordination, strength, and her babbling. Ava has her chubby baby cheeks and her round tummy so I was surprised at her stats below.
Weight: 14.8 lbs which is in the 25th percentile
Height: 26.5 inches which is in the 75th percentile
So according to her visit, she has only grown .5 inches and gained 1 lb since her visit in January which was over two months ago. Her doctor does not seemed to be concerned, but I have to think that she was not measured correctly at some point because this is not much of a change in two months.
We have started feeding Ava solid foods and butternut squash has been her first food for her to try. Dr. Long recommends introducing new food every 3-5 days, but with Ava's skin condition, we are waiting 5-7 days between food so she has not tried anything but butternut squash yet, but we are going to try peas next. She is doing much better now, but as you can see in her pictures below, she was not a fan of solid food at first.
