Sam is 8 months old! When we took him for his six month check-up, there was a tiny, little, eency-weency cause for concern because he went from being in the 50th percentile for weight to the 25th. So, we have been pumping him full of sweet potatoes, peas, green beans, carrots, avocado, pears, peaches, apple sauce, rice cereal, multi-grain cereal, and breast milk. Sam is a big fan of pears, peaches, apple sauce, and the cereals. He seems to just grit his gums (he still doesn't have any teeth) and deal with most of the vegetables. Surprisingly, he just won't eat bananas. We think it may be the gooey factor, but the face he makes when eating bananas is priceless.
Well, all of our hard work has paid off! Sam gained over two pounds in 6 weeks, and the doctor is no longer concerned about his weight. Our pediatrician is also impressed with how quickly Sam continues to develop. Sam can pull himself up to standing. We usually find him standing in the crib when we go to get him in the morning, or when he wakes up from naps. He also says "mama," "dada" (though we're not sure if he really knows what he's saying), and is generally very vocal (randomly raises his arm in the air and says/screams nonsense). Well, here's what you're all waiting for - more pics of Sam.
