Skye's 6 Month Check-Up
Skye went for her immunizations yesterday and a little check-up. It's hard to believe she's almost 16lbs now and 27" long. That puts her at about the 50 percentile for weight and then 90 for height. Although, they say you can't predict anything with height until they're two anyway.
Everything went very smoothly. I did explain to Dr. Hoyos about the continued spitting up and he convinced me to finally try the Similac Sensitive formula. He's actually suggested that several times, but I stayed with Earth's Best milk-based organic as long as possible. If it's a lactose sensitivity, I should know right away. Oh, and he made kind of a good point about the corn syrup I was worried about. It turns out the brain runs off glucose, which we can't actually make ourself and must get from food. Corn syrup serves this purpose and should not be confused with high fructose corn syrup which actually requires a lot of additional processing that may or may not be so good for you. He also pointed out that we were raised on Similac and don't have any serious issues… or, is that true?
Anway, I bribed Aidan to come along with us by letting him play the DS all the way there and back. His addiction to video games is insane… but, he is so focused and dedicated that I somehow feel it must be better than watching television. A half an hour of DS time is worth almost anything to Aidan. I've got him practicing and writing two sight words each day and spending a little time outside. I guess it's kind of a win-win.
