I took Spencer to the doctor yesterday for his 6 month checkup and got a great report all around! He’s 18 lbs, 3 oz (75th to 95th %) and 27.5 inches long (95th %). I knew he was getting tall! While he’s still a chunky money he’s definitely stretched everything out a bit! We can see his neck now! 🙂 His head circumference was 17 inches (74th %). For comparison, Maxwell was only 15 lbs, 13 oz and 26.5 inches tall. Click here for Maxwell’s 6 month checkup report. Spencer is just a bigger baby…and a very happy one!
Dr. Walley said his ears looked all clear and everything else looked great as well! He did say that teeth are probably the culprit of his short naps lately. He said while the teeth might not be preventing him from falling asleep, they are probably what are making him wake up after only 45 minutes or so. Hopefully they’ll start to feel better soon. Spencer did have to get a few shots but handled them like a champ. Dr. Walley did give us to ok to start food so, fruits and veggies, here we come!
Happy to be seeing Dr. Walley!
and not so happy after sitting in the waiting room for 45 minutes (don’t even get me started!)
But, once we got into the room, Dr. Walley came in quickly and we were happy again!
I have no doubt he’s going to love starting to eat foods – especially given how much he loved this orange slice we gave him to suck on the other night! 🙂
Yay for good doctor reports!

He’s as sweet as that orange he’s sucking on.
