6-MONTH CHECK-UP!!

I can't believe RJ is already 6 months old today!!! We had his 6 month appointment today! He weighs 15 pounds 3 ounces (putting him in the 15th percentile), is 27 inches long (70th percentile), and a head circumference of 16 (below the 5th percentile). My poor little guy has a tiny head...just like Morgan! He was so well behaved at the doctor! Again they couldn't find a second nurse to help with the shots so he got three different stabs...and did great! One little scream for the third one and then he was fine! What a brave and strong little guy! I have also decided his nickname coming out of my mouth a lot is 'Bubba'. I am not sure why, but it seems to slip off the tongue when I talk to him and I have heard Morgan refer to him as Bubba too...so I must say it a lot!

At his appointment I asked about Morgan's MAJOR constipation issues (sorry Morgan if/when you read this). The doctor recommended giving her MiraLAX on top of the prescribed syrup we were giving her (two times a day). The MiraLAX is to go in a liquid once a day. I really hope this helps!! The doctor explained that when we think she is 'pushing' she is actually holding it in! GREAT...that makes me even more nervous...it has been 7 days since her last poop.... yiyiyi!

I still can't believe RJ is 6 months old...time really does fly!!
