18 pounder

Hello my dear family and friends! It's been such a full day and I couldn't wait to share. I went for my 6 month check up and I'm happy to report that I am nearly 18 pounds of love. 171bs 14oz to be exact (8.1kg), but Papa thinks those 2 ounces were a full bladder away from hitting the big 1-8. I've reached between the 75-90th percentile for weight. Now I'm waiting for my length to catch up. I'm a good 25 1/4 inches, but that's only 25th percentile. My head circumference is at 44cm which is also above the 75th percentile. It is so nice to know I'm so well-nourished!

Let's get to the good stuff though. And when I mean good, I mean delectable! I sat in my bumbo twice today and got to use a spoon to eat up something called "rice cereal." Honestly, it tasted a lot like my mama's milk, except it had a slightly thicker texture... Do you like the bib I used to commemorate the occasion?

It was going pretty well, but I'm used to a much faster pace of eating. After all, I do take after my Papa. Papa wouldn't let me hold the bowl though.

Finally, I just went after what I wanted and tried to drink from the bowl itself. Mama caught a picture of it. Whoa this stuff is delicious! What's the next course??

Well, as promised, here's some video footage of the action today. I'm still a little/lot on the messy side. But with more practice, I think I can get really good at this. Then, maybe I'll even get to try some finger foods. Isn't Christmas coming? Oooh la la! Yippee! Watch out world, here comes my stomach!
