Ian had his 6-month checkup the other day, weighing in at 18lbs. 8 ounces, and measuring 27 1/8" long. He's in the 65th percentile for height, weight, and head size. Our little boy is growing so fast and getting stronger and more mobile every day!
At the appoint Dr. Schwartz discovered that Ian has a "tongue tie" as he called it, which was preventing Ian from sticking out his tongue. Dr. Schwartz stated that we needed to remove the frenulum and the sooner the better. Since you all know me, you already know I immediately began to worry and fret about what was about to happen to my baby. Dr. Schwartz explained the procedure to me and even had me try the numbing agent that we used on Ian's tongue. I decided it would be better for me not to watch, so I stepped aside and let the doctor and nurse do their work. It was all over within 30 seconds and Ian was more upset about not being able to see me than what had just happened. I have noticed that Ian is moving his tongue more, but he hasn't stuck it all the way out of his mouth yet.
We also had shots at this appointment, so both Ian and I were relieved when everything was over and we got to come home and snuggle and rock. Our little man is such a trouper.
Ian is also working on his third tooth! The teething process continues to be hard for him.
These photos are from Sunday -- before the Dr. appointment. Ian is driving his car for the first time!
