The Presson Family

We took Christian to see Dr. Huger yesterday for his 6 month well visit.  He now weighs 18lbs 1oz and is 28 inches long.  The doctor said he is "long and lean".  No wonder he's wearing 12 month clothes already!  My poor baby has a flat head.  =(  The back is flat from sleeping on his back 11+ hours every night.  She said we'll see if it rounds out by his 9 month visit.  If not, he'll have to wear a helmet for a couple of months to get it shaped up.  It's actually quite common nowadays, since babies must sleep on their backs to decrease the chance of SIDS.  I've tried to lay him down on his side, but he just rolls onto his back - must be comfy that way. 

Other than the flat head thing, he's doing very well.  She said we can start offering him pureed meats now.  Whatever we're eating...chicken, beef, or even pork.  It looks like he's starting to get another tooth on the bottom gum (right next to the first one).  Since he seemed in pain last night I gave him a dose of Motrin and he actually slept through the night again!  Yay!!  Christian got a full 11 hours of uninterrupted sleep and Mommy got a full 9 hours!  =)    My beautiful baby boy is growing up so fast!
