Evan’s 6 month Appointment
Oh, ok so he is almost 7 months, but due to scheduling issues his 6 month appointment was slightly delayed. All in all, he is doing really well. He has a bit of eczema that Dr said to try the over the counter cortisone cream to see if that helped before going to the Rx version. So far nothing else has. It is the worst in his diaper region and gets really flared up when he has a dirty diaper, poor thing. Dr's assessment is that he is really focusing on gross motor skills at the moment, and that he'll probably be crawling soon, and usually walking is 2 – 3 months after that, although she said the same thing about Lauren and she didn't walk until after she was 1, but Evan has more motivation in the name of Lauren. We'll see. He is just about crawling, he gets up on all fours, rocks, pulls his knees forward one by one until they catch up to his hands…and then pushes them back out and goes back into Cobra.
He is following his growth trend line beautifully, and they think he measured his head incorrectly at the last appointment as it spiked up, but it is now on the trend line again. So here are his official measurements:
Weight: 21lbs, 2oz 90th Percentile
Height: 28.875" 95th Percentile
Head: 45 cm 75th Percentile
At least he is proportionate right? So yes, he is big, bigger than most, but not all!
