6 Months and Then Some

Today was Casey's official 6-month well baby check-up. Technically, though, she is 6 months and 13 days old, so almost 6.5 months (where has the time gone?!). Here are her measurements:
Weight: 18.5 pounds - 86 %ile
Height: 26.6 inches - 73 %ile
Head Circumference: 17.6 inches - 93 %ile

Aunt Amanda & Casey

I can't get over how big my little girl is getting! She has more than tripled her birth weight by gaining nearly 13 pounds since she was born. She has grown 8.1 inches in length and I don't even remember her head circumference at birth, I'd have to check, but it was tiny (I'm thinking 12 inches???).


We also learned today that Casey is old enough to start baby yogurt (whole milk yogurt). So, we stopped at the store on the way home and got that along with lots of other stuff we needed (mostly fruit, cereal and something to make for dinner). As soon as we got home I got the cold stuff in the fridge, snapped off a strawberry-banana w/cereal yogurt for Miss C and she L-O-V-E-D it! Ate the entire container (less 3 bites that T had to "try" it). She then played for a few minutes in her Jumperoo and was then ready for her morning nap. Couldn't go down without nursing, too, so the girl nursed AND ate an entire container of yogurt! No wonder she's 18.5 pounds! Oh, and did I mention she was up to eat 5 times last night?! SERIOUSLY, Casey! I need some sleep!


Tegan is also making some great gains in his development. The boy is getting closer and closer to sleeping through the night (have I mentioned that he hasn't done that consistently yet? Ever!) AND he now goes poop on the potty!!! Hallelujah! The only thing we have left to do as far as potty training goes is to get him to wake up and go in the potty during the night. No clue on how to do that as the kid sleeps like a rock (when he's asleep) and the need to pee does not wake him up. I now put him in Good Night's (the step above pull-ups for older kids who have bed-wetting troubles) because he was peeing through his nighttime diaper every night.


Hope this finds you all happy and healthy! Take care and...


Love to all!
