On Friday we went for Leo's 8 month check-up on Friday and it all went great - Leo is in perfect shape, developing well and remains tall and lean. He impressed the doctor with his happy demeanor, and only cried for some 15sec after he got his shots.
The biggest pointer from the good Dr Van Vleck for the coming months is that we should start broadening Leo's solids diet beyond fruit, vegetables and yoghurt, as he's now ready to eat anything we eat. Think about it - anything we eat! Chicken tikka? Blend, give to Leo. Pasta with sausage and veggies? Blend, give to Leo. Pasta Bolognese?... you get the point. If he'll really eat anything we cook it will provide an always welcome nudge towards healthy fresh foods - somehow blended cheese pizza does not sound like nutritious baby dinner ;) Of course there are some things we should avoid for now (fish, shellfish, eggs, nuts, honey) but that's pretty much it.
Well, I will prepare more bigos and pierogi for Christmas :)
