6 Month Check-Up

We had Colt's 6 month check up last week- just a little early, but we had to make sure he was gaining weight.  So.... here are the stats.
Height: 27 1/4 inches- 79th %tile
Weight: 14 lbs. 2 ounces- 4th %tile
So, Colt gained 2 pounds and almost 2 inches in about a month and a week, but still dropped in the weight percentile.  The doctor said she wasn't worried because he did gain weight and he grew 2 inches.  This time she said she won't get concerned unless he drops completely off the chart.  She said to go ahead and start rice cereal and that since we waited until he was so old, then he should move to baby food quickly.  She was overall pleased with how he was doing and really happy with his developmental progress.  She wants to see him in 6 more weeks just to make sure he is still gaining weight. 
I'll leave it with a picture of Colt in his new highchair.  He is such a big boy!
