Dexter's Official 6-month Stats

As anticipated, Dexter got a clean bill of health today at his 6 month checkup. He was pretty good and showed Dr. Johnston how he rocks on his hands and knees. She was appropriately impressed.

On to the numbers...
Weight: 21.4 pounds, 94th %ile
Height: 29.25 inches, 98th %ile
Head circumference: 17.75 inches, 81st %ile

It's nice to see that his head is catching up with his body (last time, that was 53rd %ile). And he's only gained 3.4 pounds in 2 months, which is consistent with his increased level of activity and makes me feel better about his probability of ending up as an 80 pound first grader.

He got 2 immunizations today (Rotavirus - oral, and DTaP - shot) and handled them like a champ.

All in all, a great checkup. :)
