Brayden's 6 Month Appt

We went to the doctor on Wednesday for Brayden's 6 month check up, which overall went well. (October 5th) The doctor said that he was doing things physically that he usually sees with 10 month olds. I knew he was advanced, but didn't realize how much. Kind of scary if he keeps up this pace. He said that we are ready to start introducing more foods - meats, eggs and peanut butter sometime between now and 9 months. Research is showing that introducing the foods earlier gives them less of a chance of having a food allergy. Also, once he starts to get teeth, which should be soon because he's showing signs, we can begin to give him finger foods like cheerios. We also got his stats: 16 lbs 10 oz and 27 in long. Weight is in the 48 percentile and height is in the 25th. So he's a shorty. Finally, he got his shots which was rough like always, but he survived and has just been fussy since. Next checkup is at 9 months.
