6 Month Doctors Visit

On March 5, Zane had his 6 month checkup. He is doing fantastic!!
His percentile rates are awesome!!
We KNEW we had a healthy baby, (everyone tells us what a chunk he is- perchance we didn't already know! lol) but this proves it.

Head= 60%
Height=87%
Weight= 83%
I am hoping his height % is an indication he inherited Eric's family genes for height?? He is 27 3/4 inches long. We moved into twelve month clothes!
We are on an adjusted schedule for shots as he is getting a select few. He did great for his shot... one little cry out and that was it. The time before he didn't even cry out. Seeing this and having NO side affects from the shots makes me super happy Eric and I decided to take them one at a time and spread them out. I would rather have a happy boy and need to go in once a month, then to have him feel bad and need to "sleep it off".

The week before his appointment, Zane had some "illness"- I couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong. He would cry and cry and nothing would console him. I would hold him, put him down, take his clothes off and check every appendage to make sure nothing was strangling or bothering him. Then he started waking up several times during the night and early morning crying. He wasn't very hungry and it seemed as though he was very uncomfortable. Several times the only thing that helped would be to get into the shower and let the warm water wash over him and soothe him to sleep. So this went on for about a week, I took him to the walk-in Dr. and there was nothing noticeably wrong with him. Told me to give him an antibiotic "to cover the bases'- um no! There wasn't anything wrong that you can find, so why would I give him antibiotic? Took him to the chiropractor and got his little body adjusted. A few days later he was himself again. This mama was very thankful- I was worn out!! At his 6 month checkup the doc did a very thorough check on him and he is all good! It was decided he probably had a virus that had made him so upset and it had worked it's way out.
Next appointment is at 9 months!
