The 8 Month Check

Yesterday Graeme and I took Francis to the Health Visitor for his 8 month check up. He may be nine months old now, but his corrected age is only seven months and I was a bit worried that perhaps the HV would expect too much of him.

However, the HV was very pleased with Francis's progress and could barely believe that he was a premature baby. He has reached most of the 8 month milestones and I don't think it will be long before we can tick them all off the list. His weight is now 16lb 13oz and is in perfect proportion to his length, so at least I know I'm not overfeeding him!

It seems my worries were for nothing. Francis is doing everything he should be and the HV said that Francis is better developmentally than many of the full-term babies she sees!
