Kjetil had a very early morning check up today. While 7:25 doesn't sound too early, add a 45min drive, and one non-morning mommy, and it is a very early start to the day.
He did not manage to gain a pound since his last visit, May 27th, but he is up to 15lbs and 15 oz...couldn't quite tip the scales to 16lbs. He was 27.5inches long and overall healthy. I couldn't remember what the girls weighed at 6mos so I looked up Laurelei's and she was 16lbs 13oz and like Laurelei, Kjetil fell asleep waiting for shots. He is healthy and doing well, so no concerns.
I find it amazing that he started out a pound and a half heavier than the girls but has not kept pace with them. CJ and Laurelei both were 7 lbs 8oz when born and hit about the same growth points at the same time, through 9 months, then Laurelei had 2 rounds of RSV, strep throat, ear infection and the flu all between 9 months and 12months and has only gained 6lbs in the past 18months.
When I was asked today if he went to day care or was cared by others it made me laugh. I said he has 2 big sisters that act like 2 little mommies to him. Kjetil has started to develop some separation anxiety, I love the cuddles, but it is hard to just sit all day holding him. He sleeps through the night, most nights, and loves to eat like a big boy. Tonight we tried apples, and it was a hit.
I believe tomorrow's high is suppose to be about 111...we're planning on heading to the pool. I will admit, that after years of mocking "dry heat", hot is hot...but it is much more tolerable here in the dry heat than the humidity + heat of Corpus Christi. Even in the shade here, one can find a bit of relief...not so in TX.
