Pediatrician Day

Today was the six month appointment at the pediatrician! Truman got three injections... ouch. All the news was good. Truman now weighs 10 lbs. 12 oz. and is 22 3/4 inches long! He's started to play a little catch up on the growth curve. He's awfully busy growing!



We're going where today??

Yep. It's kind of confusing. At the pediatrician they give Truman his immunizations and do his check-ups on schedule for his "actual age" (6... nearly 7 now, I guess... months old). BUT, because he was born three months early, his "corrected age" or "gestational age" (what he would have been if born on his due date) is only 3 months. So, when doctors assess his milestones, they use his corrected age until he's about 2 years old. Then, they start comparing his milestones with other kids his actual age. Does that make sense? Does that help any? Feel free to ask any questions and I'll try to clarify.
