Today was Kaitlyn’s 6 month check up with her Pediatrician. She weighed in at 14lbs 4oz and 24 inches long! The Dr. said she looks perfect, but we already knew she was. She looks and acts like a typical 4 month old, which is good since her adjusted age is 4 months (she will be looked upon as her adjusted age for the first year). She is ahead developmentally, which is exciting. She is still taking iron for her hemoglobin, but the Dr. said she only needs it for one more month. We can also take her off of the Preemie formula and switch to regular formula. We’ve been struggling a little with the rice cereal, Kaitlyn isn’t a big fan. The Dr. said we can start Kaitlyn on stage 1 jar foods and try mixing it with the rice cereal or oatmeal. We’re excited to try this! Kaitlyn also had an eye test, and passed with flying colors. She won’t need another one until she is 2 years old. So good news, except that she had to have 3 shots and some blood taken. Papito said she did not take the shots well, not that any baby really does, but this time was the hardest. Kaitlyn usually cries after the first one is stuck in her leg, but this time she screamed and had real tears. Poor baby! So aside from the shots, Kaitlyn had a wonderful check up!
