It's that time again! Isaac's six month check up went very well. The doctor commented that Isaac must think he's nine months old already. He's starting to balance more on his own when he's sitting up, rolling over and getting up on his knee's and rocking. He babbles in what sounds like full sentences and boy does he get frustrated when things don't go his way. He's just a little under 18 pounds but he's 28 1/4 " in height which is still in the 97th percentile. No wonder I can't keep him in clothes. He's a tall and lean little boy.
His main form of nutrition will continue to be his formula until he's a year old. We'll continue to introduce new foods and will also start introducing finger foods. The doctor also advised that he might start having more sleep disturbances at night but this was normal and only a temporary phase. At this age the doctor also advised to get rid of the pacifier. He stated waiting until he's older can be a real challenge and some children will even look for it or pull it out of the trash. His guidance, cold turkey, just take it away. That's going to be a tough one but we'll try.
With the increase in his weight and height it's also time to upgrade the car seat. This is actually a good thing because attempting to carry him in the current carrier is a bit of a challenge. For the sake of our backs, we'll gladly upgrade the car seat.
Last but not least was his six month immunizations. He had four this time and one of them was a flu shot. Oh how I hate when he cries out in pain. The nurse was quick and I did my best to hold his hands and provide as much comfort as possible. He did much better this time afterwards as well but they still wiped him out. He has to go back in 30 days for a second flu shot and then he won't go back until his nine month check up.
