Rowan's 6 Month Check-Up

Rowan had her 6 month check-up today. I had a couple questions on the questionnaire that I was not sure of. One was does your baby act differently around strangers, this can include staring, frowning, withdrawing or crying...since she is not around a lot of new people, I wasn't sure how to answer the question so I left it blank, and figured we might find out how she is around the Dr. She was fine when he first walked in, I had her on my hip, then all of a sudden she burst out crying...then I told the Dr. well now I know how to answer that question on the sheet! It was so cute!

Here are her new stats:
15 lbs. 8 oz. (39.86%)
Length: 25.5 inches (40.74%)
Head: 17.25 inches (85.05%)-as you can see her head is still BIG, just like Liam's!

Below is a link to a cute video of her while we were waiting for the Dr.

Liam had his 6 month check up today and he is a big boy at 18 lbs. 6 oz. which makes him just above the 50th percentile for weight, he's 27.5 inches (about 75th percentile), and his head is in the 76 percentile! Dr. says he's doing great, and luckily so far has only seen him on on his well-baby check ups!

Happy 6 Months Liam!

It is so amazing to us that Liam is already 6 months old today! We started to feed him rice cereal a week ago, but we had to hold him in our lap because we hadn't bought a high chair yet. Before he was born I had seen some fancy (and spendy) Swedish ones online that I was pretty sure that I wanted, but since our dining space was pretty limited we were not sure we wanted a full size highchair. After seeing the Fisher-Price booster seat that Liam's cousin has, and also a friend of mine has, we really were liking the idea of having one that was small, portable, and inexpensive. So for Liam's half birthday we got him his very own booster seat. When we put him in it, his face lit up at the new experience of sitting up in a chair. We fed him his rice cereal, and he ate it pretty well. We also tried giving him an empty sippy cup to see what he would do, and he grabbed it and brought it straight to his mouth to drink from. We love watching him grow and change and experience new things. He is such an amazing and wonderful baby, and we feel so lucky to have him in our lives. We love you Liam! Happy 6 months, and many many more!
