On July 29, Marco had his six month wellness check up.
His stats quite surprised me.
Height = 25.83" (65.6 cm) 13%
Weight = 15 lb 9 oz (7.059 kg) 12%
Head Circumference = 43.5 cm (17.13 in) 51%
Because he is so small for his age I have to start bringing Marco in monthly to make sure he's growing properly, they just don't want his weight to drop but steadily increase.
The doc checked out his new tooth and made sure everything was in order.
Marco was a happy baby throughout the whole check-up, but Lily was a little jealous that she didn't get the same kind of attention. She found the doctor's tag and wanted to wear it. She was really sad that she, personally, wasn't able to give the tag back to the doctor.
I really like going to the wellness checkups because it's fun to see how much your baby is growing and developing and comparing it month to month. However, doctor appointments can be tricky. Making sure that one kid is adequately checked and all questions are answered, while balancing giving the older child attention and making her feel like she is helping and not being left out. Lily's in for a treat because next month it's her turn!
