How did he become six months old??? It seems like it was just yesterday that we came home, yet it seems like I've know him forever. How was it that I lived happily without him? My life would not be complete without him.
He's grown and changed so much in the last six months, it's incredible. I looked back at some newborn pictures & he's a completely different baby but to me it seems like he looks exactly the same as he did when he was born. He's changed right before my eyes & I didn't even realize it.
He had his 6 month well baby checkup today. Here are the stats:
Height 27 3/4 inches (90th %tile). Tall baby.
Weight: 15lb 11oz (20th %tile). Skinny baby.
Head: 18cm (I think??) 92nd %tile. He's got a big noggin just like his parents.
His pediatrician wasn't concerned about the drop in weight %tile. (He's always hovered around the 50th %tile) He said most breastfed babies have a dip around six months. Add in the fact that he's crazy active (seriously, he is kicking, pivoting, wiggling ALL.DAY.LONG), he burns more calories in a day than the average baby. He's just a slim baby. I'm okay with that, it makes him easier to carry. Imagine if I had to carry around a 20 pound baby.
He got 3 more shots. He didn't cry for the first 2 but did for the last. The medical assistant said the last 1 stings more than the other 2. Good thing she knows to give that one last. She's awesome (last time Connor didn't cry at all), I requested that she be the one to give him his shots again.
Pictures from his appointment to come soon.
