We took Colton to his 6 month check up this morning. All is well but he has a double ear infection. Other than that he is a happy chubby boy!
Stats:
Weight 18.5 pounds
Height: 26.4 inches
Head size: 17.74 inches
What does this all mean?
He is in the 75th percentile for his weight, 50th percentile for his height and 80th percentile for his head size. :-)
He received the following shots/immunizations:
Rotateq 2.0 mL PO
Prevnar 0.5 mL IM
Pentacel 0.5 mL IM
hep B o.5 mL IM
He is still waking up 2-3 times a night to eat but it is mainly habit now so after he gets over his ear infections we are going to work on him waking up only 1 time a night. I don’t mind getting up with him at all as I’m not one to need sleep…however we waited way too long to form this habit with Lauren so we want to start it sooner than later with Colton so we don’t have to go through the screaming/crying fit when he is a year old like we did with Lauren. :-)
Just woke up from a nap so he wanted to snuggle daddy.
Taking his measurements...
Look at me! I'm a big boy now!!!
Dr Furlow, my ears hurt! :-(
At 6 months Colton is doing the following...
- Going to bed around 8:30 p.m. and waking up at 12, 3 and 5 a.m. to eat
- Sitting up for a few seconds and then falling over
- Mimicking sounds and mouth movements of others
- Holding things and trying to bring them to your mouth
- Chewing on everything (teething but no teeth have broken through the skin yet)
- Blowing bubbles
- Pulling your feet up to your face constantly and taking your socks off
- Interested in new sounds, colors, etc
- Following people with your eyes all the way across the room
