I am officially a BIG Head

Your are Officially A Big Head - 6th MOnth Visit to the PD

This will be your last Hep B Jab. The next jab will be 2nd, 3rd and 4th dose of Prevnar (pneumoccocal vacinnation) at 7th, 9th and 12mths. Daddy and Mommy feel so xing tong that you have to go through so many jabs, while some of your friends will have 1/2 yr of rest before their annual jab. But we have weighed the pros and cons, and Mommy had read up too much about pneumoccocal (I was tested positive for Strep B in week 5 but cleared twice later during pregnancy) to risk not protecting you from it. So darling, be brave okie? Mommy is not scared of injections, so you must be like me, brave brave....eerrr or is it sadistic as Daddy would have me believe? :P

Well, here's something to cheer you up. During your developmental measurement at the clinic, you are 66.5cm long, 7.57kg in weight and have a head circumference of 45.2cm. You are officially a BIG HEAD! Hehehe, because though measuring in the 50th percentile for height and weight, you fall in the 97th percentile for head size!!! Oh WowW! Does that mean you have more brain mass? Which means you will be SMART? Hehehehe! Most importantly, be HEALTHY as well okie darling?!

Mommy prepared a long list of questions to grill Dr Ong with, and these includes any and every question on feeding cereal and puree and porridge. Only when Mommy has asked till her satisfaction did she leave the doctor's office. Oh, and did I mention, this time you did not notice at all when he jabbed you. Dr Ong said Daddy is so good at distracting you, but I suspect its coz Hep B jabs are not painful lah, right?

Mommy kept asking Dr Ong too why your weight only increased by 70g over one month! and to think that you have started cereals. He assured us that your weight is healthy and babies of this age should be putting on only a bit every month, since you are more active than before, and you should be reaching the ideal weight of 9-10kg at 1yr of age. He said you are on the way there. Though he has said that before, Mommy feels better hearing him say that again. And when asked around, Mommy learn that other babies of your age put on very little weight monthly as well.

Mommy bumped into her secondary school friend and her baby Cheryl in the waiting room. :) I have not met this friend every since we graduated 13 years ago! GOSH. I didn't even know she has a baby, who's around the same age as you. :)

Took leave to take care of you today. Temperature is fine throughout the day though it kinda hit 37.6 for a few seconds before dropping. All's well!
