Trio of sickees continued - Cam's 6 month checkup

Cam had his 6 month checkup today - weight is 20.5 lbs, length is 28.25" and his head is 18.5" around. Still in the 98th percentile except for his weight (88th), but we (us and the Dr.) suspect the ear infection Dr. Nave found in Cam's left ear today for the slight weight gain. Turns out all the rolling around he was doing before his naps was b/c he was so uncomfortable, not b/c he was trying to stay awake, as we thought :(

Dr. N said that it was better to have let the cold he's had run its course instead of rushing him in to see her sooner as the ear infection wouldn't have developed yet to be caught. She said she's missed ear infections in her own kids as they can be hard to diagnose (very small consolation). Cam was a champ today, and did pretty well with the ear check until the last few moments, when it probably hurt that she was poking around in there. He's going on antibiotics and ear drops, and his 6 month shots are rescheduled for April 1. He's still in good spirits, so this bug didn't knock him down :) Frickin' daycare....its a blessing and a curse!

Wash your hands and stay healthy! We love ya!
