Terren's 6 Month Well Visit

Little by little he is growing bigger.

I asked the nurse to write down the exact measurements (I have terrible memory these days!) so I could share them with Peep, but instead she wrote the percentile for each. Darn it.

He was just over 15 lbs and she said 26 inches...I am re-measuring him when we get home. I cannot find it possible that he hasn't grown at all since our last visit...then again, maybe he was measured incorrectly at his 4 month visit. I will update later this evening.

If you look in the picture above (Blog Title), you can see a ridge in Terren's head. I asked his doctor about this because it does concern me. He said that although it isn't normal and is a sign of Craniosynostosis, he wasn't worried because his head shape seemed normal otherwise. It is something we will keep an eye on and if it doesn't disappear or his head becomes abnormally shaped we will be having a CT scan in the future. It is a bit scary thinking that something could be wrong and there is the possibility of another "brain surgery". Sorry...had to throw that in there since some think that drilling out a small portion of the skull to insert the CI is considered brain surgery.

Anyhow, all else is well. We do know one thing for certain: his smile will not be growing...it cannot possibly get any bigger. He is the happiest baby ever! Let's just hope that holds true for this evening...the side effects from the shots aren't always pleasant.

**UPDATE** He is 27 inches - I still believe he grew more than an inch since last time as many of his outfits are too short these days. Also, he was so happy all day yesterday and slept great, so the shots didn't bother him one bit.

Terren on the Move

Here is our little buddy scooting across the floor. I can't believe he is so mobile already...this has been happening for almost three weeks. He slithers much quicker when he has clothes on :o)

6 Months!
