6 Month Checkup

Charlie went in for his 6-month doctor visit this morning. He has put on quite a bit of weight-- he's now at the 75th percentile at 18 pounds, 11 ounces. His height is still around 50th %, at 26 1/2 inches. His head is not quite so out of normal range anymore-- 17 1/4 inches is right at 50%.

He was stuffy with what we think is a cold, but they still gave him his 3 shots that were due, plus the first half of his flu shot. We'll go back in 30 days for the other flu shot.

The doctor was impressed with how well Charlie is doing at sitting up. He also remarked that he is very strong. These things are good to know, because we have no basis of comparison.

He's been fussy this evening, we think due to the discomfort of the shots in both thighs. He's sleeping well, now, though.
