I'm happy to report Milo is still a healthy boy. His weight and length have seemed to slow down a bit, although the nurse took the measurements really fast so I'm not sure how accurate they are. He weighed 9#16 and was 25 something inches long. Everything else checked out just fine. And Milo was so on his game. He was chatty and smiley for Dr. G. And was eating the paper, then grabbing her stethoscope, etc. She definitely got a good picture of Milo these days. He even sat up on his own for her. So it really was a good check up.
And I was afraid I would be scolded for starting solids earlier than 4 months, but when I told her that his tongue thrust reflex was completely gone when we first started... she said, "Oh he was ready then!" She also said we could go ahead and start pureeing most of the things we're eating for dinner for him which surprised me. Then at 6 months we'll talk about giving him things less pureed and more soft and mashed... and about self feeding.
I have just been so happy with our pediatrician. She is wonderfully laid back, but still attentive and proactive. Laid back, attentive, and proactive... those are three important qualities in the right pediatrician for us. Dr. G will be a hard loss someday when we leave Michigan.
