Owen had his 6 month check up today.
Weight: 16 lbs 1.5 oz (25th Percentile)
Height: 25.5 in (10th Percentile)
Head Circumference: 43 cm (50th Percentile)
This is a HUGE improvement from his first few months where he wasn't even
touching the growth curve. While most babies follow a curve,
Owen has taken a straight diagonal line to
catch right up to the curve.
Pretty impressive!
I am SO happy he is doing so well and am SO excited to watch him learn new
things every single day. One of the most exciting things is we
get to start him on solid foods now.
First up..Rice Cereal.
I am sure there will be a post or two to cover that adventure. ;)
Our homework for the next couple of months:
1) Practice sitting and work towards sitting unassisted
2) Try to keep him off of his back as much as possible to give his head
a chance to round out a little more.
What does this mean for you little buddy??
More tummy time,
and more time in the jumper.
But you know I always have a soft spot for you and am easy to persuade....
"Mom, I am begging you, Please take me out of here!"
"Would a smile help my chances??"
"Here it is. Here's my smile. Can I come out now??"
Don't worry buddy. Even with all of our tummy time and jumper time
we'll still have plenty of time to cuddle.
After all, you are my favorite little 6 Month Old. :)
