6 month doctors visit

A couple days late getting this post up, but Sy went to the doctors on Monday for his 6 month Child Wellness Visit and his 6 month vaccines. The doctor's appointment went really well. Syler is weighing in at 17 lbs 6 oz and measures at 26 inches long. Both of which place him in the average range for his age. Awesome!!!! The doctor is happy with how Syler is developing and growing. There is only one area that we need to work on, and that is strengthening his back muscle. The doctor wasn't overly concerned about the lack of strength and his minor inability to sit without support. So we simply just need to place him in the sitting position without support, just spotting. We also discussed with the doctor Syler's lack of interest in drinking milk from the bottle. Over the past week and a half he has been consuming less and less milk from the bottle, but devouring his cereal and or baby food. So, the doc said to get stage 2-3 nipples, which will allow more milk to come out of the nipple at once. We will try new nipples.

Next came the vaccines. Even though it is not the most pleasurable thing for either parent or child, I must say that Syler handled this round of shots like a champ. He only cried at the initial pinch of the needle and that was it. Then afterwords he was happy as a clam. Once shots were done. We were done... Sy's next appointment isn't for another 3 months, and the nice thing is he won't be getting any shots then, just some blood drawn.
