Today was Oliver's six month checkup....time is flying by. By six months "they" say he should be rolling from front to back and back to front and of course have tummy time down pat. I was prepared for Dr. Haynes to scold me about Oliver's lack of tummy time and the nonexistence of his rolling anywhere!! He has finally doubled his weight; he weighed 14lbs 9ozs which is still in the 10th percentile for weight. No sumo wrestling for Ollie...lol! When Dr. Haynes came into the room to check him out she of course asked about his cradle cap, which still comes and goes, and right now of course is back! She informed me what I already knew but hate to admit and that is that my precious Oliver has his daddy's sensitive skin.....ICK!! Why oh why couldn't he have gotten my skin!!!! She then put him on his belly to see him in action and of course he actually does well for her...PUH!! He automatically went to turn over and stopped half way. Dr. Haynes did everything she could to make him roll completely over but he had no interest. She helped him roll over and said that there was absolutely nothing to be concerned about. He has great arm strength and can pull up and walks up your chest while holding your hand. He can do it he just doesn't want to yet. She also gave us the name of the peds surgeon that we need to go see regarding his growth on his belly button. Dr. Haynes believes that it is just superficial and can easily be removed. She said that once he has finished trying all of the stage 1 foods that he can go to stage 2!! Yippee! Next was the dreaded shots!!!!!!!!! I thought he only had to have 2 but NOOO he got 3!!! He was not happy at all!! The good news is that he will get a break from shots at his 9 month checkup!!
