The high octane formula is a success! Four weeks after the last doctor's appointment we went in for a Weight Check. At four and half months Rachel weighed 11 lb 14 oz, and at 5 1/2 months old today's weight was:
13 lb 3 oz!!!
That's a gain of 1 pound and 5 ounces in one month, compared to the paltry 10 ounces over two months from before. She has rocketed from the 9th percentile to around the 13th percentile for weight. We've still got a ways to go since she should be somewhere approaching 16 pounds now, but I'm encouraged.
And apparently, metal spoons hurt her feelings, because I switched to the rubber coated variety that I don't love because they don't scrape off cereal-face as effectively. However, she now eats her cereal like gangbusters, so I guess I can deal with a little mushface for the time being.

I found some great plastic spoons that Ethan loves still. I got them at Target. They've done a pretty good job of scraping the applesauce, pudding, or yogurt off his face. (He won't touch the cereal anymore. I guess that's what happens when they grow up!)
