6 months doc update

So here are Nate's statistics.  He gets to be on two charts because he's just so darn special!
Weight - 15 pounds 4.5 ounces
Length 26 inches - I think she maybe gave him a half an inch or so due to extreme squirminess
Head circumference - 16.5 inches

For a 4 month old baby- which is how the doctor views him.  She says for the preemies you follow them and their development from their actual due date.
Weight - 50th percentile
Length - 90th percentile
Head circumference -30-40th percentile

For a 6 month old baby
Weight- 10th percentile
Length- 50th percentile
Head- 10th percentile
So, he's right on par for his due date age which is great and it's so cool to see him gaining on his 6 month old chart as well!

Well, how exciting those stats are.  I'm not really too hung up on all those percentile thingies...just thought I'd share them.  He's healthy and chunky which is just fine with us!  In a wonderful turn of events, Nate has not been overly cranky or fussy since the shots.  He slept a bit longer the first day but now is back to normal.  Besides some bruises on his legs he's good to go.
  Our doctor really is great and such a fan of him.  She takes him out of the room every time to two of the nurses who have gotten to see him since his 4 pound days and of course he charmed em!  This was before the shots mind you when he still was happy as a clam.  He really gave us all that "bite me" look after the shots :)  I really feel like a traitor in that moment but oh well, he'll get over it.  He did his usual scream with no noise coming out, then we put the nuk in and he was fine in 10 seconds, but definitely eyed us all up.  Next check up is at 9 months where thank goodness, no shots will be administered.
Nate has now figured out how to outsmart his arm and get fully from his back to his stomach.  This latest hurdle was just figured out in the last day or so!  It's dark and a little fuzzy but hopefully you can make it out.

Nate got some fun presents from his Aunt Trisha and Kristi for the big 6 months.  He has a new squeaky toy because Bella the dog thought that little ducky was hers to play with...now there is a new duck in town!  Last week my co-workers also threw me a surprise baby shower which was a blast and Nate was overly spoiled with toys and clothes to set him up for winter.  I was totally shocked and have never had a surprise party before so I'm not gonna lie, it was kind of flattering :) yah, yah, I know it was mostly just to see Nate!
My high school friends are coming up this weekend to hit the town so I'm very excited for that!  Poppa Joe is on duty Saturday night, then Grandma Jeanne is up for a few days to help Trisha move to her new apartment.  Should be a busy fun weekend!
