The Doc had an appointment today at 4, so I figured it was a sign. I swear she basically said "I'm sure it's fine... don't be high-maintenance.. just wait it out..." Blast! Since it is two weeks until his six month wellness checkup, she just threw that in too while I was there. Gotta earn the co-pay!
Here are Marco's five and a half month stats:Weight: 17 lbs. 2 oz
Height: 25.5 inches (yes, still!)
Head circumference: He doesn't wanna talk about it.
Stats put him in the 55th, 19th and 88th percentile respectively. She says developmentally he's hitting his milestones, he's growing and eating well. In summary, great news - we pass as parents! Phewf, it was touch and go there for awhile.
On the GLEC front, Marco is loving rice cereal, applesauce, peas, sweet potatoes and bananas. Next stop, carrots!
**Please note that in the pic, Marco is rocking a size 1 diaper. I think they mixed up his bin with little Marcos' at daycare. They just told me last week to bring him size 3s. Also notice how my fab Coach bag now holds diapers, wipes and toys.**

I checked Nikos stats at six months. Weight: 13 lbs. 12 oz
Height: 25 1/4 inches
Head Size: 25-50th percentile (not too exact!) Ha! It looks like Marco is going to be moving into Niko's next clothes bin pretty soon!
Tommy's 6 mos, fyi
Weight: 17lbs 15oz
Height: 26.5 inches
I also notice that Marco has discovered the sheer joy of the crinkly paper at the doctor's office. Tommy has left it trashed the last couple of visits! Glad to hear he's happy and healthy!
I can't believe a size 1 diaper could fit around all that chub!
Re: head size... Marco's dome is downright petite compared to Joey's. You know it's bad when you're buying 2T hats for your six month-old.
At six months, Joey was 20.5 pounds, and only a half-inch taller than Marco! He was obviously still working out the kinks, proportions-wise ;)
(You knew this was coming, didn't you...)
Jeff's 6 mos stats:
Weight: 18 lbs.
Height: 26 1/4 in
Condition: Spirited
"Start Hamburger, Vienna Sausage, and Corned Beef Hash"... (Ugh. Sorry, Jeff.)
In fairness, I checked the date. The appt. was 10 days after he turned 6 mos. (2nd child syndrome). So Marco has plenty of time to catch up with dad.
