Sophie has had a busy week of experimenting with solids - she's had sweet potato, broccoli, carrots, apple, pear, plum, cheese, chicken and of course as you have seen, a very small bit of a gluten free fish supper.
As a coeliac the advice I have been given is that there is no reason to avoid giving Sophie gluten but the rule of thumb for all babies is no gluten for the first 6 months which we have stuck to.
So as part of her new adventures with food Sophie was given bread and she absolutely loved it - leaving poor me as the only gluten free member of the household :o(
In other news Sophie went for a weigh in today and is now 18.5 pounds which is less than I thought she would be however if you are counting percentiles she is on the 91st percentile. What this means is that of all babies her age, if you lined up 100 of them from lightest to largest she would be 91st in line. She is the same percentile for height.
The midwife told Katie today that she should be able to predict sophie's future height and stated that according to the charts it would be "somewhere between 5ft6 and 5ft8." Katie laughed and so did I when I heard. Our prediction is somewhere over katie's height of 5ft9.
Hope you like the photos.
