SIX MONTH UPDATE

Today Gracie had her 6 month check up!  I CANNOT believe my girl is already 6 months old.  She is...
15 lb / 13 oz ~ 42.72 percentile
25.75 inches long ~ 40.96 percentile
Head circumferance 16.75 ~ 58.85 percentile

She's growing well, proportionate in size, strong (!!!!), rolling over tons, sleeping a solid 10+ hours at night and unlike Bentley couldn't care less if she ends up on her belly (He HATED it at this age).  Most of the time I go check on her in the AM and she's curled up on her tummy with her bum in the air.  She's eating two meals a day in terms of solids - oatmeal/fruit or veg in AM, cereal/fruit or veg in PM.  And bottles in between - but she's not taking a lot of forumula so we aren't ready to put her on 3 meals yet.  She jabbers up a storm signing "da da da da" mostly (of course!).  She still loves her feet and staring at her hands, and she has a few little toys she really likes playing with.  She's starting to pull her socks off like Bentley did at this age.  And we put her in her jumpy swing, but mostly she just likes to swing not actually jump.

Bentley, to compare, at this age was s 17 lbs / 2 oz (43rd percentile) and 27 inches (71st percentile).  She's pretty consistenly been roughly two pounds and two inches behind him at each appointment. 

Bentley at this point had his two bottom teeth and his top were coming in.  I think Gracie's will start to peek through any time on the bottom.

It's funny because Bentley hated tummy time so much and we STRUGGLED at night when he would flip himself over and wake up screaming but this girl couldn't care less. 


I have to say we are so fortunate to have HAPPY, HEALTHY, SLEEPY BABES!  The pic above is after her 3 shots. :(


AND - NO REPORTS OF A HELMET NEEDED!!!!  Bentley was getting his around this time.
