All about the milestones my itty bitty hits and when he hits them. I can't seem to remember to write down things in a baby book so for the time being this is his online baby book for all to see. If you want to see all the other happenings of our family you can look here.  Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

Pedi appointment

We had our pedi appointment to see what she had to say about Micah's weight today. He lost 4 ounces since last week (I knew based on his eating that he wouldn't have gained this week but I was at least hoping he didn't lose - but he did.) She looked him over and then gave us orders for the lab so we get to have blood drawn (5 different tests) and an x-ray to check for his bone age. If he bone age is low that's actually going to be a good thing she said because that means he's just growing slowly. She also said she commonly sees a slower growth in babies that get teeth later. She also noticed a little bit of fluid in his right ear but as he had some congestion she thought it could be from that. She went ahead and gave us a prescription for an antibotic just in case he spikes a fever, gets grumpier, acts like it's bugging him and has turned into an ear infection so we don't have to go back so soon if it does come to that - hopefully it won't though.
