Justin's 6 Month Check-Up

Justin is still doing well! The doctor said he is at and above where he needs to be developmentally. He supports his weight well on his legs, he rolls over both ways, he is scooting and pivoting on his belly, he can sit for short periods of time on his own, he transfers objects between his hands, he can hold a cup or bottle, and he bangs objects!

He now weighs 16lbs 3oz and is 26 1/2 inches long - so he gained about 2 lbs and grew almost two inches in the last three months! Way to go Justin! And that growth is all from nursing. Today he will get some rice cereal for the first time! I hope he likes it! And the doctor also gave a me a prescription for vitamins with fluoride to add to his cereal. This is because we don't have fluoride in our water where we live. He got three shots and I declined the flu shot. The doctor really tried to talk me into it, but with Sean having the egg allergy before I didn't want to take any chances!
