We went to Ellie’s 6 month check up on Wednesday. We had a little bit of a wait in the lobby, so she was a little out of sorts before actually meeting the doctor. He was super nice and I appreciated that he took time to talk even though he was behind schedule. She is growing on the curve – so not getting too big (or too small) too fast. He said she is doing great! And I agree :)
Here are her stats
- Weight: 16lbs 0.5oz… 19lbs 15oz at 6 months (3lbs 14.5oz weight gain) … 97%
- Length: 27.5 in at four months… 28 in at 6 months (1/2 in growth) …97%
- Head: 17-1/2 in at four months… 18-1/2 in at 6 months (1 in smarter)…97%
She is sitting, rolling (randomly and only in her crib from her back to her belly… and getting stuck), moving toys from hand-to-hand, eating lunch and dinner (I’m supposed to add breakfast to this as well), swinging, jumping in her exer-saucer, growing teeth, smiling, and loving her sister. She is also showing a little stranger anxiety recently, so we’ll see what becomes of that. I can’t believe how fast the time has past, and although I do not really enjoy the first few sleepless, worrisome, makes you feel incompetent months, I feel like I somehow missed out on some of her moments. I am going to work to soak in the little things as these minutes turn into days and days turn into months. Keep growing, loving, and smiling, Ellie. I love you!
