Henry is now seven months old! I'd say it went fast, but it depends on which month you're talking about! The past six weeks have flown by much faster here at home.
Last week we had two checkup dates at Children's Mercy, and Henry keeps impressing all of his doctors. The cardiologist only requested an EKG this time - no echo. She was so amazed at how good he looks, how good his vitals are, and his continued weight gain, that we will not need to go back to see her until mid-September!

Two days later we were back at CMH to see an occupational therapist and gastroenterologist. OT fed Henry his first solid foods, and he ate about six spoonfuls of rice cereal - yum! GI was pleased with his progress and advised us it was okay to do solid foods. We will be able to advance past rice cereal, as long as we stay clear of soy and dairy, and introduce new foods slowly.
We are taking it slow, only feeding him once a day. We found a highchair Saturday and gave Henry some organic rice cereal with Elecare - his first real meal at home. He loved it!
