Pediatrician: Six Months

We went to the pediatrician again this morning. Karston officially weighs 14 pounds 7.4 ounces for 25 1/4 inches long, which is about the 5th percentile for both. Other than his chubby baby thighs, he does look skinny as babies go! When you combine those two, he's around the 25th percentile for his weight-to-length ratio. Since he wants to be held so often, I really don't mind having a lightweight baby! His head circumference is up to 16 3/4 inches, near the 25th percentile just like all of his doctor visits after the first month. Anyway, he's healthy and vaccinated. The pediatrician also said we need to get serious about making the house as baby-safe as possible because mobility is just around the corner. We're allowed to introduce single fruits and vegetables now, even though rice cereal isn't going down in large quantities. He often won't take a spoon from me (and his eyes make it obvious what he would rather that I feed him), but Daddy says you know he's done eating when he gets some distance sending the food back at you or when he won't open his mouth. So I'm sure it gets a lot messier from here ...
