Well, as promised, here the update from Elias’ doctor’s visit this morning. He is 19 lbs, 1oz. and 26″ tall. I was certain he would beat Silje’s record in our family, of being 20 lbs by 6 months, but alas, he is not quite as fat as she was. On the other hand, as my mom pointed out, he came a month early, so maybe we should weigh him in a month before we say who was the chubbiest of my babies!
He was a champ getting his vaccinations. He only cried for about 3 seconds. They also took a few drops of blood for an iron check, and he didn’t even cry at the technician taking it from him. He just smiled and cooed at her. What a flirt!
Despite being a preemie, he is meeting all of his milestones, without adjusting his birth date. We are so blessed to have such a healthy baby. Spending some time in the hospital this winter has really made us so grateful that all of our kids are so healthy! O, and he is in the 25% percentile for height, and 75% percentile for weight. (The Dr. joked that he’s 3 times as wide as he is tall!) That is a comparison against other full term 6 month olds, so that’s pretty good! Silje was always in the 90% for height until recently, but my boys have always fallen in somewhere between 15-25% for height. Go figure.
Praise God for good health!
