Six-Month Checkup

At my 6-month pediatrician visit, I tipped the scales at 12 lb 10.5 oz and measured 25.5 inches long. This puts me in the 3rd percentile for weight and the 42nd for length. Adjusting for my having been born three weeks early, I'm in the 7th percentile for weight and the 62nd for length. If Dad's Sparky, I'm aiming for Spiky.

Doc says I should start eating solids twice a day, and keep taking Zantac and Prilosec since they seem to be working well. She said something about me weaning myself off of them simply by continuing to grow. I didn't have the heart to tell her I haven't had to choke any medicine down for weeks now. Mom and Dad just nodded.
