6 Month Well Baby Check Up





Brody had his 6 month well baby visit on Friday. He is right on track with everything. Here's his stats:

~Weight 17lbs. 0 ozs. (37%)

~Height 27 in. (66%)
~Head Circumference 46cm (94%)

So basically, we have a tall, skinny, and a big headed baby! Haha, but we love him so much! The Doctor said his weight was nothing to worry about, it was just a little under the average. For his height, average weight is 18lbs, so we are not to off track. Plus, he was sick a couple of weeks ago.

He also had to get those awful SHOTS! He got 2 shots in his right leg, 1 shot in his left leg, and then the oral medication to prevent the rotavirus. Don't worry, he had Tylenol before and after his appointment. He did run a low grade fever, but hopefully that is gone!

New things to look forward to in the next 1-2 months:
~Eating baby food with meat around 7 months
~Sippy cup
~TEETH
~sitting up unsupported
~crawling

We love Brody's doctor! He takes his time, answers all our questions, and interacts with Brody. Brody even got a little book of Colors as his "reward" for having to go through those shots!

Our next Doctor's appointment will be in 3 months for his 9 Month Well Baby Visit!
