ozzy's 6 month check up revealed that the sharp hard white bump in the back of his mouth is NOT a little tooth poking through, but a cyst. it should go away on its own and is not a need for concern.
his head is measuring in the 75%, his length 50%, and his weight is in the 25%. he's still feeding every 2 hours, and refuses to take more than 3 oz per feed (i pumped and put 3.5 oz in a bottle...he stops at exactly 3 oz and pushes the bottle away, turns his face, arches his back, and cries out if i kept trying to get him to finish the final .5 oz.)
the doc thinks he's doing great though, but says she would be concerned if his weight didnt continue up on the curve and instead makes a downward dive, so we've got to go back in a month for a weight check and his second flu shot.
he had 4 shots and 1 oral vaccine today. he cried after the injections, i latched him on, he took a nap for 30 min and he was fine afterwards. i,on the other hand, was not feeling so great. tired, congested, coughing, sneezing...so after playing with ozzy for two hours, feeding him some baby food (apples), i took him up to bed with me and let him nurse off and on while i slept from 2:15 until 5 pm. it was much needed and luckily, he slept alongside me, nursing periodically.
here's a bit of video. there's two parts to it...the first part is a bit of ozzy trying to crawl. you can see just the beginnings of some coordinated hands and knees movement.
the second part is something that we discovered ozzy will do anytime you tap his mouth or chin.
