My little peanut: 6 month well child recap

Last week Wednesday we took Austin in for his six month well child visit. My biggest baby is becoming a tiny little guy, here are the numbers:

Austin's 6 month stats:

Height: 25 3/4" - 25%

Weight: 15lbs 11oz - 15%

Head: 44cm - 50%

The good news is his head is growing at an even pace. The bad news - the rest of him is not! The pediatrician said that he is not concerned for a few reasons including the fact that he hasn't been sick, his potty habits are normal, he seems satisfied and full after a feeding, his brothers started tapering off during their first year as well (although they started thinning out around 9 months, not 4). I think he gave me a few more reasons not to worry, but I forget what they are. So I'm trying not to worry and trying to appreciate the good things about having a little guy. For one, he is much easier to haul around. Which is great, because he really likes to be held all. the. time. Also, he is my last baby so it's nice to actually have a baby for the whole 12 months, unlike Brody who tried his best to look and act like a toddler at a month old instead of a tiny infant. Speaking of Brody, here is how the other two looked at 6 months:

Brody's 6 month stats:

Height: 27.25" - 90%

Weight: 19lbs 10oz - 90%

Head: 18.25" - 90%

Jacob's 6 month stats:

Height: 26.5"

Weight: 17lbs 8oz

The rest of the appointment went well. He received his rotavirus oral vaccination, which he hated, and three shots. He complained during the shots, but never shed any real tears! Which is great because one of the shots was a tetanus and that one causes a lot of discomfort for adults, let alone babies! We are still struggling with Austin's eczema, but aquaphor seems to be our best friend. Oh, and my little guy is cutting his bottom two teeth! Thank goodness, finally a reason for all the drooling :)

Austin's Likes and Dislikes at 6 months:

Likes:

Left thumb.

Mommy, Daddy is a distant second.

Being held.

His exersaucer.

Chewing on everything.

Laughing at his brothers.

Rolling over and sleeping on his tummy.

"Cirque De Soleil" - Keeping his core muscles amazingly tight while being hoisted playfully in the air. He has impeccable form and a promising future with the "Cirque De Soleil" company, should he ever be interested.

Swimming.

Dislikes:

Right thumb.

Baby food.

Gaining weight.

His itchy, scratchy skin.

Nearly everybody other than his immediate family. Separation anxiety and "stranger-danger" reflex are in full effect.
