Carter's Visit to the Doctor

On Monday Carter had his 6th month check up with the pediatrician. First of all they have to weight and measure him to get all his stats so here they are.....
weight - 18 lbs 13 oz. (75th percentile)
height - 28 1/4 in. (Off the chart or basically the 99th percentile) maybe that means he'll be tall!!
head circumference - 17 1/4 in.
He also had to scrap some wax out of Carter's ear which did not go over very well and Carter had to have FIVE shots. He recovered fairly quickly though, thank goodness! The doc gave us the go ahead to start phase 2 baby foods which means exciting new options for dinner. The doc also said it was early that Carter can sit so well by himself without any support. Yea Carter! Overall he said Carter was a beautiful baby and doing excellent.
