Lukas eating solids

Since he is now 13 months old, Lukas should be eating solids pretty well. He has such a gag reflex that he has been struggling with for a while now. The doctor seemed concerned because he only gained about 1 lb from 6-9 months, and another 1 lb from 9-12 months. It sounds worse than it is, as you can see in the pictures he is not a skinny boy, but the doctor said it was not enough. He has me giving Lukas whole milk + formula in each of his bottles. He gained 2 lbs in just 1 week! He also sent us to a speech therapist to see if she could help him with tongue movements. We went to the therapist and she said to dip lots of stuff he chews on into baby food. We have to start all over getting him slowly used to different textures. I'm willing to do whatever helps him eat solids, but I am still hoping that one day soon he will outgrow the gagging and eat solids with ease. We see his doctor and the speech therapist again next week. With the whole milk, I am guessing he has gotten up to 27 lbs, but we will see soon!
