6 Month Check-up

Cason had his 6 month check-up today and weighed 18 lbs 5 ounces (65th percentile) and is 26 3/4 inches long (50th percentile). He was on target or above average with his milestones. Dr. Huggins even gave us the all clear to start puff snacks because of how well he is sitting. Cason is going to love puffs because they involve his two favorite activities, picking things up and putting them in his mouth! We also learned that he has his first ear infection, which was a huge surprise because he has not been fussy, running a fever, or grabbing at his ear. He does have a little cold so between that, 4 shots, and the ear infection he has not felt that great this evening. Dr. Huggins also confirmed that his top gums are very swollen and she thinks his top teeth will be in very very soon! Other than a little ear infection and a cold, Cason is a healthy happy baby boy!



He loves playing with this toy! He will be pushing it around before I know it.

I had to include this picture of Emory because she weighed 18 lbs 6 ounces at one year and had her first ear infection a few weeks after turning 1. This picture was taken after we got home from the doctor. Thankfully her first ear infection as been her only ear infection. Hopefully Cason will follow in her footsteps minus her allergy to penicillin.
