We didn’t have a six-year appointment scheduled since all his vaccinations are up-to-date until he’s 11.

We had been taking him to a few swimming lessons, and then he got an earache, so it was off to the doctor just at about six years anyway.

Turns out he had put stickers in his ears, and some of it was stuck down in with the wax in his left ear and had caused an infection. Nice.

While we were at the doctor, they weighed and measured him, so at least we have those stats to fall in line with our yearly monitoring:

6-year:
4-ft 3-inches tall (51 inches)
56.6 lbs.

Past milestones:
5-year:
48.7 inches tall – off the charts (once again), Doctor said he is the height of a 7-1/2 year old!
51.4 lbs. 95th percentile.
​4-year:
​45 inches tall – he’s well off their charts for his age, once again. (3 feet 9 inches)​
43.6 lbs, in the 90th percentile.
