April 4, 2012 - Doctor's Appointment

Today the Baby had his six month check up and needle.  He was great, so brave.  He didn't even really cry after getting the needle, I was so proud.  Luckily, for him, he gets to go the next six months before he gets another needle!

He was weighed (15lbs 14oz), and his height was measured 24.8 inches.  This puts him in the 3rd percentile for weight and the 15th percentile for height.  For those who don't know (like the Husband), this means that 15 percent of children are shorter than him, and 3 percent of children his age are lighter and than him.  I can't believe this when looking at him, he is nice and chunky!  I asked the doctor about the growth chart, and he said he figured he was off the chart, so not to worry.  I am not worrying because he is healthy and happy, as I am typing this he is in his bouncer and trying to get my attention.  When I look at him and smile, he gives me a big beautiful smile and it melts my heart.
