6 Month Check Up

Today, we went for Asher's 6 month check up. Dr. Gesn said, "He looks very healthy." She made him try to sit up and stand. According to Dr. Gesn, Asher is very strong, but he has not found his center of gravity. This is why he has not mastered sitting up yet. She said not to worry that he is right on target and will be sitting by himself in no time. 

Asher is 20.04 lbs and 27 inches longs. This puts him in the 90th and 75th percentile, respectively speaking. Dr. Gesn said he is not fat; he is just a big boy. She said that it is way too early to predict how tall he will be. However, she looked up statistics and guess his adult height at 5'11. Could it be? Is it possible that Orvalle and I will have a relatively tall child?!

Asher's heart was broken when Nurse Becky gave him his shots, but he forgave her at the end. He did so well. We'll go back at 9 months.
