Six month Doctor Visit

We have been to the doctor today for what was suppose to be our 6 month well baby check. We have good news and bad news.

We'll start with the good news - Chloe is doing great reaching her milestones. She has accomplished all for the 6 month point and is already on some of the 8/9 month milestones. She is well on track for motor, language and developmental skills. Yeah! Go Chloe!!!

Chloe is at 18 lbs. and 9 ounces placing her in the 90th percentile foe weight. I have a chub-chub her. Side note to this, Cleis did not even weigh this on her first birthday. Her length is 27 1/4 inches placing her in the 95th percentile and head circumference is 75th percentile at 43 cm.

The doctor did a full body check on her and said she has very strong legs, her hip placement looks great and that she is doing just fine.

Now for the bad news - I have noted in previous post that we were having some fussy days and that we had a new tooth. Well I was chalking all the fussiness up to change in routine, baby food, teeth, anything but hearing the words "ear infection". Unfortunately Chloe has her first ear infection. For the most part she has been in great spirits. She gets fussy in the late afternoon and early evening and wants to be held, other than that she has been good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this was caused by her teeth and she doesn't have the same ears Cleis had. But if that is the case we will make it through. She has been prescribed her antibiotic and starting solids is on hold. If by chance she has a reaction to the medication we will know it's the medication and not have to go through the process of elimination. We will begin solids in 10 days once we finish the medication. Until then all my hard work will remain in the freezer until Chloe is ready.

We go back in three weeks to do a follow up on her ears and at this time she will get her 6 month immunizations.
