Well Baby Checkup.

Asher had his well baby checkup last Friday. He now weighs 10.5 kilos...a half kilo gain from last month. He also received his Hepa A vaccine and he's due to receive his typhoid vaccine next checkup. We were advised to continue his food supplement and vitamins at the same dosage and give him more variety of table foods. She was amazed with the number of teeth he has now and said that they develop a bit faster than the average of his age. The pedia didn't bother to ask how he's developing mentally and physically because Asher was so in the mood and showcased his antics. He walked and roamed around the room and showed how he can expertly balance and walk on his own. She asked about how Asher's doing with his speech development if he's now able to imitate sounds and syllables of real words. I reported that he has a number, like "di" for daddy, "ish" for fish, "bu" for ball, "baba" for bye bye (which he did when we're readying to leave the clinic as he waved) and so on.

I also told the Pedia about my worries in the past weeks...Asher's inconsistent diarrhea (wet and frequent poo). One day he's passing out up to five times a day then the next day, back to his normal. She assured that as long as he's appetite is well and the diarrhea isn't associated with fever, vomitting or any unusual stuffs in the feces, he's just fine. Diarrhea is really common during the hot, summer days.
