Consultatieburo

Today Felix had his five-month check up at the consultatieburo. The consultatieburo has been mentioned and explained before, but now's the time for an even more in depth report!
First we enter and "park" the stroller. Is it obvious what the #1 stroller is in Holland much?
The mama or papa then undresses the baby in one of the cubby-like changing tables and waits to be called on for measurements.
Baby gets weighed and measured (every other visit... so not this time).
Head circumference is also measured in the younger children.
Evie likes to call the consultatieburo the "speelgoed doktor" or "toy doctor" because she always has fun in the waiting room. Today she was all about this slide. But there is also a HUGE playhouse, a full play kitchen, teeter totters, and a couple cars to ride on. If the consultatieburo knows one thing, it's how to keep the kids happy while they wait.
Once in the doctor's office older children are still kept entertained with a small table with more toys.
The well-baby visit mostly consists of questions and answers from both the doctor and the parent. Immunizations are also given here. The doctor has Felix's vaccination card in her hands.
Today's visit went really well. Felix weighed exactly 8 kg, or 17 lbs. 10 oz., which is in the 75th percentile. Last month he was in the 89th percentile for weight and 95th for height. We don't know what his length was this time, but let's hope that his growth slowed there as well. Otherwise we'll have a little beanpole! Felix also received two immunization shots today. With the first one, he just kept smiling through it all. With the second one he cried for literally about twenty seconds. He's a tough little dude!
