6 month well visit

6 month well visit at 6 months, 2 weeks, 3 days:


Stats:

• Weight:  16 lbs 2 oz (17th percentile up from 2nd percentile at 4 months)
• Length:  27 inches (53th percentile up from 40th percentile  at 4 months)
• Head circumference: 43.5 cm (45th percentile up from 35th percentile at 4 months)

Vaccinations:

• Rotovirus, 3rd dose
• Hib, 3rd dose
• DTP, 3rd dose
• IPV, 3rd dose
• PCV, 3rd dose 
• Influenza
• Note:  Held off on Hep B today since flu shot was added.  

He looks great.  Dr. G was pleased to see the increase in the percentiles.  No concerns.

I have to admit I have been going back and reading lots of Freddie's posts to compare.  Need to stop the comparing, but wish I had read Freddie's 6 month well visit post prior to Hans' appointment.  Freddie began lead tests at 6 months and while I think we are low risk living in a new building I do want to ask Dr. G about testing (just the finger prick not venous for now).  No reason not to as far as I'm concerned. 

And since I brought up the whole comparison thing Freddie was in the 5th-10th percentile at this point with the exception of his noggin which was in the 50-75th percentile.  Freddie was also far more mobile, holding to stand independently, and was sitting with a great amount of proficiency.  While Hans is not yet there, I'm not worried.  I need to keep in mind that Freddie hit lots of physical milestones early and Hans will do everything on his own schedule. 

Freddie looks/sounds great as well.  

Next visit:  February 27th to administer 2nd dose of flu shot and 3rd Hep B dose.
