He is quite the healthy boy... weighing in at 19.6 oz, 27 1/2 inches tall. Everything looks great. He is in the 75%-95% in all areas. We discussed his eating habits and she said that he only needs 20-24 oz of formula a day, as long as he is eating. I told her how much food he is going through and she says he is doing great. She says in the "old" days they stopped formula/breastfeeding at 6 months and went on just food. But she said the problem was that iron levels dropped, so that is why we continue through to 1 year now. She said we can start introducing meats (which I have already done), table foods and Stage 3 if he will eat them. He got his 3 shots and the one oral. They didn't have the flu vaccines in yet, but recommend getting them for all 3 boys. He barely whimpered through the shots, and was out in the nurse area smiling at everyone while Brandon got his.
