Doctor's Visit

Dallas and I went for his 6 month well-baby check-up today. Everything is going great! The "little" man weighed in at 20 lbs and 3 oz, and he was 28 1/2 inches long (again, putting him over the 95th percentile). The nurse thinks he was mis-measured at his 4 month check-up because of the difference on his growth chart. Oh well, he seems to be growing just fine!


Dr. Boelter was very impressed with all the cool things Dallas can do: grab at objects and switch hands, roll over in all directions, babble, follow sounds, eat his toes, sit up, scoot/army crawl, etc. She was also very impressed with his eating (how many different types of food he likes) and with me still nursing him ~ especially with those teeth he has!


Dr. Boelter also talked about his skull x-rays and said that everything was normal. In addition, she said that his head circumference is growing at a steady rate which indicates that the spaces between the skull plates have not started to close. She believes that his head will continue to shaping just fine. So...all in all...great news.


I'll leave you with a few pictures...enjoy!

It's always a relief to get good news at the doctor's office. Dallas is such a carbon copy of his daddy.
