Off the charts

We just got back from Stian's 6 month appointment. He did well. He got shots, but he did okay with them. We'll see how he's doing this evening because he was very fussy the evening after his 4 month shots. Although I think he was also sick then. So we'll see.

We saw the nurse practitioner. She said he looked healthy. She wasn't concerned about him being late to do some things - like rolling over. Speaking of which, just this morning he really rolled over on his own. He could do it before if his arms happened to be up by his head. But if he moved his arm down by his side he wouldn't move it back up and couldn't push enough to roll over his arm. But this morning several times he moved his arm back up and out of the way on his own and then rolled. Anyway, she said it's just because he's a big baby and has more to move around, so he will be late doing these things.

And yes, he is a big baby! He's 23 lbs, which is off the growth charts now. He's 27.5" which is the 90th percentile. And his head is 47 centimeters, which is also off the charts. She said this was nothing to worry about, especially since he is proportional. And she said we can expect his weight gain to really slow down now that he is becoming more mobile, and he will start to slim down. Although I can't imagine a slim Stian!

He's napping at the moment, but I will take a 6 month picture this afternoon if he is still feeling well.
