Our first week back in Austin has been pretty busy. We have been unpacking and unpacking and unpacking and of course a little dusting...oh and some major baby proofing since Luc is in to EVERYTHING.
I FINALLY went to the dermatologist. I do have eczema. He prescribed me a sterniod cream and some super moisturizer (which I did not get because it cost $92 WITH insurance).
Luc went to the doctor today for his 6 month check-up today. He is doing great. He weighs 17 lb 4 oz which is in the 50th percentile and he is 27 in long which is the 75th percentile. It looks like our monster is starting to be more like the average-sized baby his age. He only got 3 shots this time and was such a trooper. He only cried for a minute. We did not get the Rotovirus vaccine since it made him so sick at 2 months and 4 months. His doctor said that he could be allergic to something in the vaccine and she did not want to risk that again.
Luc slept in his bed for the first time. He slept a whole lot better than I did. He slept about 7 hours before he woke up to eat. I woke up four times though and had to go check on him.
He also had prunes for the first time. It only took one feeding and he had a huge poop that afternoon. It was great. I know he probably felt so much better. I didn't know until today when the doctor told me that the cereal has iron in it which sometimes causes babies to be a bit constipated. Well prunes will do the trick. In the middle of eating though, he started scratching his nose. His hand hit the spoon so prunes ended up all over his face. Oh and Brian finally realizes why I always said breastfed newborns poop doesn't stick. He was gagging when he changed a diaper the other day...it was great. I miss those stickly breastfed baby poos.
This is his matching outfit and hat that Dr Kicklighter got for him when we saw him in Auburn.
He is scooting and sitting up by himself a lot more now. He is in to everything and he isn't even full-blown crawling yet. I am SO not ready for this.
I can't believe Luc is already 6 months old. Time really does fly by. Here is a little comparison of how much he's grown in 6 months.
Here he is in his swing at 10 days old
He is definitely outgrowing his swing...but he still likes it.
