6 Months Old!

Mitchell is now 6 months old. He weighs 18.8 pounds and is 28.5 inches long. He is in the 60th percentile in weight and the 97th percentile in height. He is close to out growing his 6-9 clothes. I can't imagine him wearing 12 month clothes, it seems way too soon! Mitchell's doctor wanted us to wait until Mitchell was 6 months old to introduce baby food. He has had so many allergies that he said the longer we wait the less likely he will carry these allergies into his childhood. So he had us start with rice cereal, which Mitchell loves, and now this week we can start the good stuff. I think Mitchell is " thinking finally these people are feeding me something worth eating." He hated his Nutramigen and can tolerate his regular formula but he loves his squash! He would have eaten for hours if I had let him. He opens his moth like a little bird and bounces up and down in his high chair. When I take to long preparing the next bite he let's me know by screaming. He is so funny about it. I am glad he can finally enjoy eating. I think it is going to get better and better as he gets older and gets to try new things. Here are a few pictures of our little eater!
