Kayden went in for her 5 month checkup and reconfirmed that she’s a big kid.

• Weight: 17 pounds, 3 ounce (90th percentile)
• Height: 26.5″ (90th percentile)
• Head circumference: 16.75″ (75th percentile)

The big news is the doc gave the green light for her to start on solid foods. She was beside herself with joy. And again, I use the term “solids” very loosely. She slurped down that gnarly looking rice cereal mess with the quickness. I still remember Xander’s first few tries with solids…he didn’t quite know what to make of it all and a lot of it was running out of his mouth. Not with this one. She was attacking the spoon and getting highly impatient with the slow delivery of food. It got to the point where Tam was letting her drink out of the bowl. Well, what can I say? She’s definitely a Shih.

Here she is doing a food dance.

And for the main event, Kayden eats…apparently it’s a spectator sport.
