Our Boy is Growing - Sloooowly?

Today, Michael had his 6-month check-up/vaccinations (1 month late). As previously mentioned, Michael's first tooth broke thru about 10 days ago and his second one is not far behind. At the same time he has developed sinus congestion with a cough and sporadic diaper rashes. He has a great deal going on and then on top of it all the pediatrician said he is healthy enough to get his vaccinations. So, Michael had 5 vaccinations this morning. He handled it really well and only cried for a minutes. Not bad after 4 injections and 1 oral vaccine.

Michael weighed in at 16 lbs and is 27 inches long. I am told that most babies double in weight by 6 months and triple by 1 year. By that calculation, he is just about on the mark. By the growth chart, he is in the 10th percentile for weight and the 50th percentile for height.

Michael continues to do well with all the new foods we are introducing and his appetite can be, at times, almost insatiable. I am waiting for the one food that he can't stand and I wind up wearing it.

We hope everyone is doing well and we would love to hear from you. Love and miss you.
