Baby had her 6th month check-up. It's strange because she can't possibly be a minute older than 4 weeks.
Time is a sprinter!
At the appointment I was given a questionnaire to fill out with questions like, "Does your baby sit up on her own, roll over, pick up small objects from a surface, etc."
I felt like a schmuck as I kept marking, "Not yet."
Oh, boy. Maybe I should put my baby down sometimes. More tummy time and less Chokey time. Wait. That came out wrong. I don't choke my baby. I call the baby carrier the Chokey.
The Dr. assured me it was fine and she'd be able to do these things soon. Easy for him to say - he can sit up on his own.
I went home with a determination to help Baby be successful.
One day later, she was sitting up. Rolling over was soon after. The cat was even doing her part to help out.
Success!
Here are her stats at 6 months old:
Weight: 18 lbs - 81st percentile
Height: 28 inches - 99th percentile
Head: 16 inches - 12th percentile
Baby is happy and smiley. She lights up when her big sister talks to her and she loves to be tickled and tossed in the air. The only thing she doesn't like is pooping. She clearly doesn't take after her father.
She is mostly sleeping through the night with one exception of eating around 2. We're going to work on eliminating that feeding. I'm ready to sleep straight until morning.
I'm sure grateful for this baby!
