Today Max and I loaded up and headed off for his 6mo DR visit. When I layed him down on the scale he was straining to sit up, so I helped him a little. He hates to lay down now. Max now weighs 15lbs 9oz. Babies are supposed to double their birth weight by 6 months and 15lbs 5oz would be double his birth weight so he reached that goal! Max is also now 25 3/4th inches long. He is still in the 10-25th percentile range but he is still steadily gowing so the Dr B is not concerned at all. Max's head on the other hand is right at the 50th percetile.
Max reached all of his milestones except saying baba or dada. Max is more of a screamer. Dr B was very impressed with Max's sitting abilities saying that most babies his age are not as steady and can not sit as long as he can. The next milestone we will look for is crawling around 9 months.
Poor Max got 4 shots and the oral rotavirus. He was only supposed to get 3 shots but they still had flu shots left so I decided to go ahead and let him get that too. He will have to go back in 4 weeks to get a second flu shot(Scott will have to take him...that should be interesting...)
On an end note Max didn't really cry this time at the office when Dr B examined him, just fussed. He did cry for his shots. Oh and I forgot my camera...bad momma...so sorry for picture quality, taken with my phone.
