073009 - JEL's 6th Month Bday & Monthly Pedia Check-up

JEL's 6th Month Birthday was last Thursday so we needed to go to the office. However, we decided to take a half day off also for her Pedia Check-up. It was supposed to be on 080109 but our schedule is tight on that day. We picked up her cake from Recipes & Magic before picking her up from home.

Her check-up went well except for the one small lymph node that her pedia was able to feel near her jaw. She just advised us to monitor if it will grow bigger or increased.

She grew 2cm longer and still taller from the average (69cm). However, her weight is lower than average.

She only gained 0.2kg since last month. She was previously at 6kg. Our pedia told us to limit her solid intake from 4 to twice a day so that her milk intake will increase. She is only taking 3-4 feedings of 6oz milk a day.

Her vitamins will also increase from 0.5ml to 1ml. Another vitamins was also given to her to boost her appetite. We hope that it will work for her. According to her pedia, she is not skinny but she is also not fat. All here food and milk intakes are being converted to energy because she is so active.

Anyway, she also got her Hepa Vaccine that day. She only cried for a while then started playing again. She will have her vaccine for measles next month.

Before going home, we bought some foods from North Park for her birthday celebration. We had Toast Noodles, Beancurd Mushroom, Sweet and Sour Pork, Aniseed Beef Tendon, Kingdao Spareribs and Salted Fish & Chicken Fried Rice. We had a simple celebration at home. See more pictures here.

Btw, we thank the Lord for all His Blessings, our JEL's 6th Month, her everyday safety and good health!
