Doin' good!

August 23, 2009

We saw the pediatrician yesterday.
Connor's latest stats:

Weight: 15 lbs, 12 oz
Height: 25 in
Head Circ: 43.5 cm

If you put him at his adjusted age of 5 months, on the growth charts he is:

Weight: 25th percentile
Height: 25th percentile (from the 5th percentile!!!)
Head Circ: 50th percentile

All kinds of good news today...

• He gets to come off Neosure (the really expensive, not-easy-to-find, specialty formula) next month... hallelujah! Costco, here we come!!
• The original plan was to wait until 9 months old to start solid food... and we're starting this week, instead! (This is a really big deal for us, especially considering Connor's intestinal surgery.)
  
• He's on his last bottle of Reglan (for gastric reflux) - he's already outgrown his current dosage, so the weaning process has begun! After he's done with Reglan, we're down to just 2 meds - the antibiotic and multi-vitamin.
  
• After 1 more well-check appointment in 6 weeks (and this is mostly just because he's due for a bunch of shots - namely a regular flu shot and the RSV vaccine), he'll be then seen on a regular baby check-up schedule - no pediatrician until he's 1 year old.
• Dr decided that developmentally he is right around a 6-month-old, even though his adjusted age is still only 5 months.

Sunny skies ahead!! :)
