6 month check up

Today Collin had his 6 month check up....even though he is actually almost 6 1/2 months old. He is 19 lbs 14 oz....which is a little less than he was due to all his sickness, he lost an entire pound last week. He is 27 1/2 inches long. His weight and height are now at 80 percent..so he is starting to thin out but his head was off the charts! He must take after his dad!!!

Otherwise, So after 5 shots, Collin checked out as a normal, healthy 6 month old. Well except for his ears.... Since Collin has now had 4 ear infections in the past months, we need to take all the precautions we can....even though Dr. Steele said we have very few things in our favor. Going to Day Care, 6 months at the start of the winter, fluid currently behind his ear that has been there for the past 2 months and constant congestion. All these things lead to signs of us having another ear infection in the next four weeks! NOT GOOD!!! So looks like we are headed to an ENT!

Another excitment for Collin is his strong desire to move! He wants so badly to be able to move around. So last night and today at daycare he scooted backwards. Looks like we are on the way to wanting to crawl!
