Maylea 6 months

Joshua took Maylea in for her 6 month check up. With it being the end of volleyball season and having parent teacher conferences I wasn't able to take the time off to get to the appointment myself. I wanted to go since this was a new Dr., but it just didn't work out. This is how the appt. went.

Maylea (6 mo.) Cooper (6 mo.)
15 lbs. 13 oz. 50% 18 lbs. 12 oz.
28 1/2 in. long 100% (actually off the charts) 28 1/4 in.
16 in. head 10%

We have a very long and skinny little girl. He would like for her to gain some weight. She is healthy, but would like her a little heavier. She got 3 shots and did fine with them. She did not like her heart being listened to. Everything is developing fine. He said to start feeding her more stage one and stage two food and introduce her to finger foods. He said her head should start to round out (by 9 months) and we can expect that to get normal. I think the flat heads is something that is genetic the kids get from me (not that laying on their back didn't help). My head is VERY flat, but my hair covers it all up!!! She still needs 16-24 oz. of formula a day, but as we implement more and more cereal/food at each meal, she should begin to sleep through the night......we will keep our fingers crossed.

Josh liked Dr. Steward and said he felt he asked good questions and he didn't feel he was getting rushed out the door. We did look into getting a flu shot for her, but like many places they were out of them.
