Six month well visit
Today Owain had his six month well visit with Dr.H. He wasn't to happy when Dr.H was examining him. The whole time he was screaming looking at his daddy "why don't you help me!" This was before the nurse gave him his three shots. I felt so bad for the little guy if he was this upset just because Dr.H was looking in his ears and listening to his heart. How was he going to react when the nurse pokes him three times in the leg. Needless to say he wasn't to happy when he got the shots,who would be? As soon as daddy picked him he calmed right down. Dr.H was happy with his development. He is doing everything a six month old should be. He is rolling over from front to back. Sitting up with help. Reaching for objects (toy,soothie or anything he can reach). He is moving one object from one hand to another.
Her only concern was his weight(not a big concern). He weighs 12lbs 7.5 oz. Since his four month check up he has only put on 2.5lbs. So he is still in the one percentile for his weight. Dr.H would like us to bring Owain back for a weight check in six weeks and if he still in the one percentile we might up his formula intake. Right now he is on a 24 cal. We new Owain is little for his age he is just now out growing his three month clothes. The good news is he hasn't lost any weight since we brought him home from the NICU. In the next few eeks I am going to try and fatten that boy up!
Dr.H say that she would really start to worry if Owain's head was in the one percentile. Well we don't have to worry about that his head is in the 75 percentile. So that is really good our boy as a big head. I already new this because he out grows his hats way before his clothes.
On our way home,not even five minutes from the Doctors Owain passed out in the car holding onto his foot. He was tuckered out. It's not easy being a six month old.
Poor Owain with 3 shots. I hope he isn't too fussy after that. It's good he's growing up, about his weight, maybe if you add cereal to his formula?
