6 Months Old!

Gradyn is 6 months old today and we went to his 6 month well-baby check this morning. He weighed 15 pounds and was 24.5 inches long. That puts him in the 5th percentile for both. His head was in the 25th percentile. So, he is still really small for his age.

We only had one problem. Grady's leg muscles are a little tight. The doctor worried that this was a symptom of the brain hemorrhage he had at birth. He will get evaluated and begin physical therapy next week. The plan is for this to loosen up his muscles and have no problems from here on out. Hopefully, things go according to plan. :)

Grady met every developmental milestone for a 6 month old, both mental and physical. He was really charming the doctor and nurse. That is, until they gave him his immunizations. It took him a while to calm down after that.

We will start him on vegetables next week. That should make his Aunt Ashley the dietitian very proud.

He is going to spend the week with his cousins and godparents Andy and Cassie. Hopefully, Isaac doesn't teach him how to get into too much trouble.

Bye for now,
P,K, & Baby G
