This past Thursday Maxim had his six month check up. He has grown a whole 10 inches since he was born. He measured an even 26 inches in length and he weighed 15 pounds 3.5 ounces. He is getting so big that I am very happy, but also sad at the same time. I don't want my baby boy to grow too fast. With those measurements he landed on the premie charts at 85th percentile for length and 45th percentile for weight. Not too shabby! For the premie chart all they do is go off his developmental age instead of his actual age. When his numbers are put into the system they are put in as if his birthdate was September first.
He also got his six month shots and he took them like a champ. He cried for a hot second and then started smiling right away. It was kind of funny.
We also discussed giving him food and the doctor said it's hard to say with him because he is a premie but he has been excelling at everything else. She said to give it a try and if he's ready then great, but if not then we will wait a little longer. Stay tuned for my next post on Maxim's first food experience.
Maxim is munching on Sopie the giraffe and just livin' the dream!
