Owen had his well child check up today!
Weight = 13 lbs 6 oz - 84th percentile
Height = 24.5 inches - 90th percentile
Hearing "I can tell he gets a lot of interaction." or "Wow, that's a three month skill" from the doctor warms my heart.
Hearing "He probably had a pulled neck muscle and you didn't ... appreciate it" makes me cry.
(and what does that even mean? "appreciate it" ? just say what you mean, I either ignored it or didn't notice)
We did notice that he favors turning his head to his left, but I didn't think it was that big of an issue. We've been working on getting him to look the other way, but apparently we need to work harder at it. His ears are now off by an inch because of this -- how weird is it that how your baby lays affects how his head ends up being shaped right now?!? So we have a month to fix it or else he'll be referred to massage therapy or something.
At least he's happier these days - even if his ears are lopsided :)

Sounds like he's growing like a weed! I had no idea how they lay could effect their ear placement. Crazy!
ReplyDeleteYou grow big, handsome kiddos Rachel! And ones that are even ahead of the game in their skills! Go YOU!
ReplyDeleteEven the most attentive parent is apt to miss some things when they have other kids. Don't worry about how the Ped put it. It's hard not to take it personally, especially when it's about your kids but it sounds like you're completely on top of it now. Believe it or not the shape of the head will correct itself pretty quickly with being attentive to the things you guys are working on. And if it comes to massage therapy, who wouldn't love that?! I know I would!
Keep up the good work!
