Well, Fintan has been six months long enough for him to turn seven months, so it's time for another post. At his six month well check he was 18 lbs 7 oz (50-75%) and 26 1/4 inches (25-50%), and his head was 44 1/2 cm (50-75%). He also had a few routine shots and a flu shot. That evening, after being cranky all afternoon, he threw up and passed out. I couldn't wake him up so I called 911. I ended up taking him to the ER myself. The ER doctor and pediatric hospitalist both thought he probably just fell asleep. His pediatrician's diagnosis was a febrile (fever) seizure. It was all very strange, but he is fine now. He is pretty good at sitting up and playing with a toy for a bit, but still randomly falls over. He loves watching his brother run around and you can tell he wants to join in so badly. He also took his first plane ride at six months, to his endocrine appointment in Seattle. It was actually cheaper to do that than to get a hotel room, and much quicker. I was so nervous about it but he did really well. I can only hope to be so lucky when we have to do it again in a couple months.
