Today I took Trey for his six month check-up. He has been super fussy the last few days so I was interested in what Dr. Wilson had to say. The verdict: perfectly healthy! Ears were great, motor skills ahead of the game. Very social! Trey impressed everyone by sticking his tongue out and twirling it around- a new trick he's learned recently. He was clearly very proud of himself.
The only thing we (mostly me) were concerned about was his size. Trey was 8lb 4oz when he was born, roughly 75% height and weight, just like Evangeline. He's stayed in the upper range on height and weight at all his other check-ups. At four months he was 95% height and 75% weight. Today, he had only grown 1/4 inch in two months. They measured him three times just to be sure. Finally, the nurses concluded that they must've been off the last time. I hope so. But mamas worry! Also, he was down in weight too, to the 30%. He's 16lb, 12 oz. Evangeline was 17 lb, 2 oz at six months, so it's surprising that he's even smaller than she was. I was always small as a baby and preschooler, and Trey seems to take more after me, so maybe he's just going to be small for his age?
Shots were no fun, as usual. Poor little guy can get SO mad! Now he's sleeping them off. Bless him!
