Sean had his 6-month pediatrician appointment today and got his official stats. He is 17 lbs 13 oz heavy and 28″ long. By the way, that puts him at 90th percentile for length. Anyone surprised? Anyone?
Also, tooth #6 finally finished coming in last Wednesday, July 28. It’s amazing the difference between a teething and non-teething baby (at least ours): the latter is so much happier, more relaxed, produces hardly any drool, doesn’t always desperately want to have something in his mouth.
Our teething holiday lasted about 5 days. Now we can see a new tooth starting to emerge on Sean’s bottom left (purple, below). It looks like it might be two teeth away from the nearest one, which would make it a canine. But the lateral incisors are supposed to come in before the canines. That is, if the baby reads the book on proper teething order, which as I’ve already mentioned, Sean clearly did not do. Of course, this tooth may just be peeking out, waiting for another tooth to come in first, as tooth #5 did. We’ll just have to wait and see (and wipe up drool).
And as an administrative matter, I’ve had to add a captcha to the comments; I’ve had over 50 spam comments in the past few days. I know they’re annoying, but I haven’t found another good (free) way to keep out the spambots. Sorry.
