Simon's been doing well since his little illness with hand foot mouth. After that week his appetite seemed to just go through the roof and he started eating a ton of solids. I don't know how they get him to eat so much stuff at daycare, when he's at home we can't get him to eat that much...anyway he is really loving the fruit purees esp anything with apple or pear in it. Sometimes I have to try different purees with him - the other night he was actually quite hungry but refused to eat this butternut squash mix but gobbled down apple/pear/blueberry. Overall he's an enthusiastic eater, though :). It's pretty fun being able to feed him foods that I make for him.
His 6 month checkup went well. His growth took a small dive at his endocrinologist appt so we upped his meds a bit and now he seems to be back on track. Sounds like she still wants us to push his weight gain a bit more and add olive oil to his purees (sounds gross to me).
The biggest change with Simon is now he is so observant and interactive. It's really a lot of fun right now. He sits up by himself really well, can crawl now (!!) by dragging himself on his tummy, recognizes faces (always gives me a heart melting smile when I come home). I love it. It really seems like he knows who I am and he's such a happy little guy (except when it's time to nap and then he cries a little bit before passing out). He likes to play with all his toys and he loves the TV remote and my cell phone.
