6 Mo. Checkup

Carson had his 6 mo. checkup today. He did really well. He did pee all over himself, my hand, and the table.....but that's okay. :-) He got 3 shots this time. He cried and his little face turned bright red, but he stopped as soon as I picked him up. What a big boy!

Here are his stats:

21 lbs. 6 oz. (95%)
28.5 in. (96%)

Head circumference o/s.....they don't give sheets out anymore! Grrr. She said I would get one so I didn't write anything down, but then I did not......ugh. I'll have to have Grandma look it up for us.

Dr. commented that he's "slimming down" since he's only in the 95th/96th percentiles. Ha, ha.

Dr. said that he should now be through all of the Stage 1 and 2 foods. Oops. We've only tackled Stage 1. :-) Guess we should move on. He said he could also have puffs now! And little pieces of our table fruits and veggies. I can't believe it - he still seems so little!

As always, I asked him exactly what/how much he should be eating (formula and food-wise) and I got a "whatever he wants". I appreciate that he's trying to give me the freedom to do whatever, but anyone who knows my personality knows that I prefer a little more structure and guidance. :-) I'm a rule-follower. So frustrating. I guess I'm going to have to learn to be a little more laid-back w/ him, but I really like to have a right or wrong way to do things. We'll have to figure it out on our own I guess.

All in all, the checkup went well and we have a healthy little boy. Guess we need to do some shopping for more baby food. And based on his weight, we need to do some shopping for another convertible car seat!
