Liam's 5 month appt

Our big guy weighed in at 20lbs 15oz and was 28 inches long. They said if he was 1 we could switch him to forward facing already :) We do need to go ahead and get him a car seat that is the next step up. Developmentally he is right on target and then some. Due to his increase in spit ups and it becoming projectile we have been placed on a two week trial of Almentum (the expensive stuff). They want to see if the hypoallergenic formula helps. If not, we will be referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist for evaluation and possibly be put on a stronger medicine than Zantac. Weight gain is obviously not an issue :)
We also need to make an appt with a pediatric neurologist ONLY to confirm his doctors diagnosis of his recent tremors. He believes they are only myoclonic tremors and will grow out of them and should be nothing to worry about.

All in all a good visit but also one that is going to be EXPENSIVE!!!
