You had your 7-month check-up today. You got another 5 in 1 shot on your right thigh. I was worried how you were going to react, but other than the initial crying you were fine after 5 seconds. Here's where you're at:
Weight: 7.29kg or 16.07lbs
Height: 65.5cm
Head circumference: 42cm
According to the doctor your length is at the 15th percentile, weight is just below the 50th percentile and your head circumference is at the 50th percentile.
The photo above is a picture I took of you sitting on the doctor's scale. You were so cute smiling while naked that I couldn't resist taking a quick snapshot. I also love all the rolls.
Your brother Aidan also had a quick follow-up. Daddy took a day off from work today so that he could help me take both of you to see the doctor. Last time I was worried about his constipation- he was not having ANY bowel movements in the potty and was pooping in his pants :-S Luckily he is now going poo in the potty, just not daily. Because he is holding it for 2-3 days his poo has been HUMUNGOUS! It's so big that he would tell me it was painful and I would also see some blood in his stool. The doctor suggested I give him more fiber-rich foods. I might try baking bran muffins as Aidan loves muffins. I also asked the doctor about his peanut allergy and if he can redo his allergy test. I don't think his allergy is that severe so I'm curious to see if he outgrew his allergy to peanuts. She is going to refer me to an allergist. Also, his nose is prone to bleeding. Lately, he's been having a bloody nose almost every single night. I think it's because the air has been so dry in his room since we turn on the heater fan. He wakes up screaming my name because I think he is alarmed that his nose is bleeding. It doesn't bleed for a long time, but I'm still concerned why his nose is so sensitive. Maybe it's because I also had a lot of bloody noses when I was young? The doctor suggested I try an OTC medicine for his nose. We shall see if that works. In the meantime I have his humidifier blasting at full strength in his room.
After the doctor's appointment the whole family was exhausted. We were planning to go to the mall to buy Aidan some much-needed clothes, but we decided to go home and crash.
We all ended up napping for a few hours. When we awoke we decided to head to the mall as we didn't have time in the weekend to go- Aidan starts his Korean school tomorrow.
Here's what we got Aidan:
 |
| At H&M: I love the kids clothes at H&M. They are so cute! I immediately was drawn to these monster tees and at $5.95 each I couldn't pass up on it. As for the pants I absolutely ADORE THEM! They reminded me of the J Crew Saturday Pants that I've been wanting for myself, but in a boys version. The mannequin at the store had the pants paired with the gray monster tee and high-top kicks. It looked very cool. |

| At Children's Place: Not my favourite kids store, but I love their price points. I got these 2 shirts for $4.99 each! Aidan's been outgrowing all his long-sleeve shirts so I wanted to get a couple more for his daycare. I didn't want to buy too many as spring is just around the corner. I still have to get Aidan boots (his boots I got this past fall is already falling apart!) and maybe PJ's. |
