6 Month Check-up

Mr. Maddox had his 6 month check-up at the pediatrician's office today. He did great!! He was happy and smiley the entire appointment and only cried for a second when he got his 4 shots!! Yep that's right...the poor thing had to get 4 shots today. Two were his normal vaccines and the other two were his seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccines. He took it like a champ and was smiling again before we even left the exam room.

We saw the PA, Chris, today and she said he is a perfectly healthy baby!! I am so thankful for that!! Now for his stats. He has definitely grown since his last appointment!! He now weighs 18 lbs. 7 oz. which is the 70th percentile, he is 27 inches long which is also the 70th percentile, and his head is 44.8 cm around, which is 75 percentile!! So he is pretty proportionate :D. She also said she was seeing the beginning phases of teeth on the bottom so he will probably be getting those sometime in the near future.

Again, I am so thankful for a good report and can't believe my buddy is getting so big!! He doesn't have his next appointment until 9 months so we have to wait a while to go back!!

I know I still need to post 6 month pics so I will get on that and post them soon!!

Can you believe he's 6 months old?!! He's so precious and so so so cute! Yay for teeth fixing to come in! It's really a non event so don't worry about that part, but super exciting! Happy half birthday Maddox!

Maddox is absolutely adorable! I'm so thankful he is doing so well. You and Collin are such wonderful, Christ-honoring parents, Holly! Blessings on the precious Packer family. I cannot wait to see how devoted Maddox becomes to the Lord as he grows in wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and people.
