For Tucker's 6 month wellness check up, we visited a new doctor because our doctor is out on maternity leave. The new doctor's office was very kid friendly, adorned with many toys, fish, small kid chairs, a television playing a child friendly movie, and best of all - a moving train that runs along the ceiling between the lobby and each of the office rooms. What a treat! We liked this new doctor a great deal, but we will probably go back to our current doctor - boring office and all, once she's back from leave, because we already have a nice rapport with her.
Tucker's stat's at this appointment were remarkable. He measured in at:
Height: 26 3/4 inches - 60% - Owen was 25 1/4inch
Weight: 18lbs 12 inches - 75% (WOW!) - Owen 17 lbs 4 oz
Head: 44.5 cm - 75% - Owen 43 cm
We have known for quite awhile that Tucker is a chunk, but the fact that he weighed in at nearly 19 lbs still surprised us. As for his shots, he handled them better than his last visit and only cried for about twenty or thirty seconds, which was a big relief to me. All in all, he's a healthy little guy with a happy personality.
Since the last post, Tucker has really started to move! He's scooting every so slightly, but now he's really rolling all around. He's a quick one and actually rolls across the room and it seems like he does this to reach his toys. Owen rolled back and forth a bit, but he never rolled around as a way to move - so we now we really have our hands full!
Wow! What a big, healthy baby! He weighs more at 6 months than Colin did at 9! Glad he is doing well.
