Since this was a WCC (well child care checkup), we officially weighed and measured him. Are you guys ready for this? He is 17 pounds, 15 ounces and 27 inches long! That puts him in the 65th percentile for weight and the 85th percentile for height. He is really beginning to fill out...I think he went through a major growth spurt over the last month. I weighed him at home at around 5 months and he was 14 pounds, 8 ounces, so in one month he gained 3 1/2 pounds. That's a whole lot of weight, even for an adult! More than likely, the growth had a lot to do with the increased solid food intake, the switch to formula, and a major reduction in the amount of spitting up.
As far as the reflux issue goes, we are doing a whole lot better. In the last few weeks, it has been like night and day from a month or two ago. There are days when it seems like Tristan doesn't even have reflux, because he hardly spits up at all...it is wonderful!!! The pediatric GI had told us that reflux peaks between 4 and 6 months and usually starts to get better after that, so I think we are in the "getting better" stage. The solid foods have seemed to help too. Hopefully in a month or two, it will be completely gone.
Well, that's about it for now, just wanted to give an update on his checkup. I posted a few pictures below from the other day...just having fun in the bathtub.
I'm going to get this duck in my mouth
Too big, I'll try the little duck instead
I give up on the ducks, fingers are better anyway
Oh forget it, here's the smile you are trying to get
