I got my 6-month checkup today and here are the results: I weighed in at 15 pounds and measured 27 inches tall, which puts me at the 25th percentile and 90th percentile for weight and height, respectively. I continue to be a tall and skinny baby! The doctor said that I must make sure to drink at least 24 ounces of formula/milk per day, but I am very willful, so what's mommy and daddy and Melissa to do?! Some days I eat more, other days less. But I never eat tons. These days, I sometimes only drink 2 or 3 ounces each feeding (whereas at daycare I was regularly drinking 6 ounces every feeding), but I eat lots in the morning and evening, when mommy breastfeeds me. But, I love love love my solids!! Today, I tried oatmeal, which I liked. I still like carrots, but hopefully soon I will be graduating to fruits -- yum!
I got my shots today and did great -- I barely cried at all at the doctor's office. The doctor said that we will keep watching my weight, and when I go in next month to get my flu shot, I will get weighed again and hope for better progress in weight gain! We will just have to wait and see!
These days I unfortunately have developed the bad habit of waking up in the middle of the night and refusing to be comforted except for a few minutes of nursing with mommy (no bottles, no holding from daddy seems to calm me). Mommy and daddy are really hoping this is just a phase and I will grow out of it soon!!
