6 month checkup

Well, really almost 7 month checkup! Here's the stats:

Weight: 19 lbs, 3 ounces (75%) - no longer a huge jump, but that is expected since he is such a mover now!
Height: 28 1/2 inches (95%)
Head: 45 cm (75%)

Liam had three shots and an oral vaccination today. He got his first dose of the flu shot (he will need two) and we delayed his third Hep B. Couldn't bear the thought of four shots in one day!

All in all, everything looks good. We got the go ahead to add in Liam's third meal (will have to work that out at daycare), start stage 2 foods (variety here we come), keep working with our sippy cup, and add in a mixed cereal (wheat!). She is thinking the hives Liam keeps getting is really more of a sensitive skin issue. She gave me the go-ahead to add dairy back into my diet. She is thinking this shouldn't be a problem for Liam since he has reached the six month mark - we will of course watch for the old signs of sensitivity, just in case! I ate pizza tonight in celebration! She thinks his torticollis is still looking wonderful... no more OT for Liam! She agrees the mouth bump has stayed the same... still watch for changes, but no further follow-up right now.

Overall, a very happy, healthy baby! Our ped. is due to have her second baby in November, so we will see one of her associates for his 9 month check-up. Hard to think he may be walking before she sees him again!
