I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that Joseph had his six-month checkup last week, about a month late. He’s 26.75 inches tall, with a head circumference of 44 centimeters; both of these measurements are right around the fiftieth percentile.

Unfortunately, his weight was actually down a bit from his last visit to the doctor; at 16 pounds, 9 ounces, he’s around the fifteenth percentile. Doctor Kim attributed this to Joseph’s recent bouts with ear infections, eye goop and colds and isn’t overly concerned. We’ve got a followup appointment in a couple weeks and will see where we stand then.
