Last Sunday, M passed yet another milestone: starting solids! At almost exactly her 6-month birthday (which is 4/7 – Z’s birthday; more on that later), we decided to give it a go. She’s been quite the champ! While she has made it known (clearly) that she doesn’t prefer broccoli (I don’t blame her) or peas (that one I don’t quite get), she happily gulps down cereal, carrots, and lentils. I’ll be posting video soon, but I just got the March photos up and I wanted to share the good news.

M’s also growing like a weed. She passed her 6-month check-up with flying colors and is tipping the top of the charts in height and weight (of course, what else could we expect from one of our porky-babies?!). Though of all the kids, she’s the smallest at her age (which is really just saying the others girls were HUGE at her age!). According to the pediatric nurse, “fat babies are happy babies,” so we’re all pleased that she’s growing, healthy, and happy!
