90th percentile

Junior's growth seems to be leveling off a little now.  For his 6 month well-baby checkup, he weighed in at 20lb 7oz, 28inches.  This may seem big enough for most babies, but compared to 95th percentile at 4 months, he's now down to 90th percentile.  Maybe he's burning off more calories now.  He is considerably more active compared to just a couple of weeks ago.   He's finally mastered rolling over from stomach to back.  This morning we caught him practicing his new skill over and over.  He now squirms and moves (mostly backwards) all over his playmat.  He'll even do some yoga poses like upward dog, downward dog, and child's pose.

We're also making some more progress with introducing solid foods.  So far he's had rice cereal, oatmeal, avocado, banana, cauliflower, sweet potato, carrots, oranges.  Surprisingly, he did not like sweet potato or bananas very much, but he enjoyed eating cauliflower.  He still prefers his "solids" more on the runny side.  We'll gradually try to thicken his food, but for now he prefers the consistency of tomato soup.  We've given up trying to use infant spoons since they don't hold enough food.  We noticed that he was getting impatient with waiting so much between spoonfuls.   Now we'll either use adult plastic soup spoons or just let him drink straight from a cup.
