It's time...Six Month Stats!

[titania]

Time is marching on!!! Happy half birthdays to our babies! ❤️

[titania]

DD had her appointment yesterday! My little string bean is a whopping 13lbs 11oz 😉 and 26.3" (8%/64%). I was a little worried about her weight, but she is own her own little curve and that is all that matters! She is in size 2 diapers now and fits in clothes ranging from 3 months to 6 months depending on the brand. Pants fall down, so we stick with leggings 😊.

I feel like I say this every month but she is just so much fun now! We play and "read" together. She loves music and to be in constant motion. Definitely has a bit (or a lot) of FOMO. She is saying sounds that I definitely interpret as "Mama" 😉 and is trying really hard to sit up. So far no real interest in scooting as someone is always there to carry her to her next adventure! We just started solids and she mostly likes to make a mess, but has just started showing interest in sweet potatoes. Every day I see her learning so much it's incredible! I'm so looking forward to her seeing the lights at all the holiday displays cause I think she will love them!

She turned 6 months on the 13th. She is 26 in (50%) and 16.5lbs (50%). Most average baby. 😂

She is wearing 6m clothes but they are getting so short, the 9m are coming out. Size 2 diapers but once this pack is gone we will move to size 3.

She has started saying "babababa" which is the cutest thing and she can sit up supported.

😭😭😭😭😭

I'm still not ready. O turned 6 months on the 19th. He is 14.6 oz & 25.25" We are finally out of the first percentile for height & weight! We are in size two diapers and 6 month clothes. He is so much fun. He is starting to make consonant sounds, but yelling and raspberries are still crowd favorites. He is getting on hands and knees and rocking- so he is probs gonna be crawling by Christmas. I'm not ready. He is sitting up like a champ. We have started to bump him up to stage 2 foods and are introducing new stuff every couple of days. He got turkey this past weekend! Can't wait for the June babies to make their way to the half birthday point!

DD is 6 months tomorrow so I'm going to fill this out! Appt isn't until next week. 16.5-17 pounds, no clue on height. She wears size 2 diapers but we will move to 3 soon! She also wears 6 month clothes but we will move into 6-9 month soon. Still on reflux meds and very sensitive to foods I eat. She's eating solids and loves everything except green beans. She moves constantly and will not sit still. She sits up really well, is scooting, and just started rocking on all fours (which is crazy for me since DS was so late with all motor stuff). She babbles all the time and is SO loud. She has two bottom teeth! She wakes up twice a night and is still a terrible napper. I think that's about it! Overall, she's gotten much happier this month, so we are hoping that we're turning a corner!

Ainsley was 6 months last week. We don't have her appointment for another week. She is trying to sit up. She loves to blow raspberries. She is in size 2 and 3 diapers along with cloth. We still rock 3-6 month clothes. We will start foods probably after her 6 month appointment. We don't sleep and she has a mom obsession!

[athn64]

We had out appointment Friday. We actually took both kids in together and that was a trip. Woof.

She's 17.5 lbs and 26.25 in long. 6-9 month clothes and as we found out, size 3 diapers. She has recently had a bad rash and pedi thought it could be yeast, so our cloth needed to be stripped and she's in disposables for the time being. I hate how they smell. Yuck.

She took her shots much better than the toddler and is Hitting all her milestones. Pedi was impressed she's already scooting. Girl is on a mission. She's been trying to get on hands and knees lately too. I am not ready.

C turned 6 months on Thanksgiving day, but she just had her doctor's appointment yesterday. She's 16lbs 5oz. (50%), 24.75" (30%), and her head size is in the 85 percentile (slightly down from 90% where it was previously). She sits up on her own. She's rolling (mostly back to belly) and scooting backwards. After a month of trying to feed her, she's finally found something she likes to eat: sweet potatoes. She's pretty pleasant and silly. She still gets up one or two times a night. Size 3 diapers, 3-6 month clothing, but she's about to transition to 6-9 month.

DS was 6 months on Nov 23rd but we just had our check-up and shots yesterday (we were delayed due to Thanksgiving and our move).

He is 15lb 4oz (8%), 26 in (15%) and HC 43.5cm (40%). Those are his curves and he's sticking to them!!! He's rolling both ways but mostly back to front, starting to sit (will tripod for 2-3 seconds before he falls over), pivots a ton but doesn't really scoot. He's taught himself how to find and replace his pacifier MOTN (God-send!). He's in 3-6 mo clothes and size 3 diapers. I can't believe he isn't larger than he is given how much he eats - 4x7 oz bottles during the day, also nurses 2-3 times. We started solids shortly before 6 mo and he usually gets them about once a day. Pears & quinoa, mangos, sweet potatoes, squash are all hits. He doesn't love oatmeal or anything green (yet). He's a very good sleeper and I count my blessings every day for this and so, so much more.

Also, 6 month shots were brutal! He got 4 and spent all of yesterday screaming and refusing to nurse. Tylenol didn't help. Poor guy. He seems a bit better this morning though.

E turned 6 months on Sunday. At her appt today chunker is 16 lbs 6 oz (55%ile up from the 30%ile) and 26.5" (70%ile). She is getting big so quickly. She army crawls all over the place and can get up on her hands and knees and move a tiny bit. She's so happy and content most of the time. We've started some solids and she loves fruit but has taken some carrots and peas at daycare. She has 2 bottom teeth.

Sleep is still mostly in 2 hr increments but she goes back down quickly with a boob. I should probably start working on weaning night feeds but I don't have the energy.

She's in 6-9 mo clothes and size 3 diapers when she's not in cloth.

[vivela]

28 inches (95th percentile) and 18 lbs, 3 oz. (70th percentile) and 17.5 head (80th percentile). 
He was in the 95th for height and weight when he was 2 months and has been steadily declining in the weight percentiles, but the pedi says there is no reason to be concerned when he is still above average in weight. I guess the whole "following the curve" thing matters less when your baby is such a chunk! 
He's in 3 diapers and wearing 12 month clothes. 9 months still fits him but it depends on the style and brand. Those thighs are no joke and he is long. 
He is finally rolling back and forth pretty easily and he's making an effort to sit up, but doesn't have it down yet. Zero attempts at crawling. He babbles a lot and is constantly smiling and laughing, which makes it easy to convince family members to babysit him He also has a death grip, so allow hair and earrings within arms reach at your own peril.

Hey vivela our babes are big huge twins.

Remi is 28 inches and 18.3 pounds. He is wearing 9-12 months clothes and size 3 diapers.

He can roll both ways and sit up. He scoots around in a circle but no signs of crawling. He has no teeth yet. He talks and laughs a lot and makes sure we all know he's in the room or car with us. Love my little chunky happy boy.

ETA: he wakes 2-3 times a night and from his size I wouldn't be surprised if he is in fact hungry. We're going to attempt some sort of sleep training this weekend.

I can't believe our babies are 6 months already! Where is the time going?! I hardly ever participate in these check-ins because I feel like we're late in the game with our appointments but this time we're not too bad so I'll play.

DD2 turned 6 months yesterday. She's 15lbs even. I don't remember her length but I know she grew 2 inches and gained 2 lbs since her 4 month visit. The doc was thrilled and said she was sure she had already started solids with that growth.

We gave her solids for the first time yesterday. Peas....and she was not a fan! She basically didn't swallow and I heard it gurgling in her throat and freaked out. After a couple swallows nursing it was all clear. She gave me a heart attack because I thought she was allergic or something. I have an irrational fear of food allergies (like a crazy person) so I hold my breath every time we introduce somethig new.

She's sitting on her own a decent amount but not well enough to be out of my reach. She rolls back to belly like a champ but will not go belly to back. Doc is not concerned because physically she is able just stubborn. Sleeps on her belly (rolls there herself immediately after we lay her down), but actually sleeps pretty well so I'm thankful. Super smiley and happy 90% of the time. We are super lucky!

[Stringy]

Here we are!

P was 17 lbs 9 oz today and 27 in long and whatever a head in the 96th percentile is. She sits up like a champ but wont roll lol.

[greysonsmom]

Had our appointment yesterday, about two weeks late.

She is 17 pounds and 28 inches. Wearing 6-12 clothes and size 3 diapers but I think we may move to 4s soon. She is sitting up for a limited time, still working on that. Scooting all over the place, getting up on her hands and knees and rocking.

Girl wants to keep up with her big brother.

She was sleeping well but we got by from a week away last week and now her sleep is gone to shit. Maybe I should set the pack and play up in her room because I don't know what her deal is, she slept fine in it away but now back in her nice crib she is up multiple times a nights and not goi g back down for at least an hour. She thinks 2 am is the best time to practice crawling 😒

[manybellsdown]

I've been a bit MIA but I gotta do the check-in (always reminded when the next month's goes up...that's when I finally qualify).

E is 16 lbs, 10 oz and 27 inches. He fits best in 9m clothes but can still wear some 6m. Size 3 diapers when not in cloth.

He's pretty chill to hang out, rolling back and forth on his belly and back, but not usually going anywhere. He's not good at sitting. He likes to pick up his butt, but only during diaper changes. You know, to make them extra fun for me. We gave him avocado the other night at dinner, but he wasn't interested and didn't even try to put it in his mouth. He smiles and laughs so easily. His cheeks are so kissable. And I don't talk about sleep anymore but let's just say it was better at 5 months... like way better. #reversejinx

[Outofhiding]

DS turned six months on the 12th. He is a little over 16 lbs and 27". I forgot his head circumference but he's in the 83rd percentile.

He scoots back quite efficiently, he rolls both ways, he rocks back and forth on all fours. He is really working hard to crawl and get himself into sitting position himself. He can sit unassisted for a minute or so if we set him down, longer if he's mesmerized by his sister's antics. He is such a happy baby, always smiling and absolutely loves when you talk to him. His sleep could be better but he has given himself an 8:30-9:00 pm bedtime so that helps.

[sandandsea]

Ds was 6 months on Wednesday. He's 19.5 pounds and has definitely grown from the 26 inches last month but we haven't measured him. He's in 12 month clothes and size 3 diapers. He is sitting up and grabbing everything in sight. So far he is liking every solid we give him but we aren't pushing them daily yet but will start after the holidays. He's had a cold so sleep sucks. But he was a champ during our travel day Thursday. He slept and was perfect on both flights and on the unplanned 3.5 hour drive afterwards.

[pbandj714]

We had our 6 month visit yesterday. G is 15lb14oz and 26". L is 15lb2oz and also 26". They were troopers getting their boosters and flu shots. Then they slept them off last night...13 hours! But today they've been fighting naps and grouchy. Balance. G is great at tripoding, and he's able to stand now with support. He acts like he wants to get up on his knees, but doesn't quite have the strength yet. L can now sit unassisted, still loves to stand with support, and she loves to sleep with her butt up in the air. They are both chatty Kathys and big gummy smilers...no teeth here. We're still in the infancy of offering solids. So far, G is interested. L, not so much.

[GOmamab15]

He's not quite 6 months yet but my works about to get crazy so I'll be MIA for a bit.
-2 bottom teeth
-Crawling
-Pulling up on everything
-Chattering but not repeating sounds yet, more like nonsense sentences to himself. Most chatty in the early morning.
-size 3 diapers & 6 mo clothes, 6-9 pjs cuz he's long.

He's a big sweetheart.

[chriskoo]

DD turned 6 months this past Wednesday. Not sure how big she is, she hasn't had her appointment yet.
She sits, roll in both directions, and is super smiley and chatty -- she sounds like a baby dinosaur lol. She's not crawling yet but she wants to -- won't be long!
Sleep is hit or miss but overall she's such a good little babe. We love her so much!

[Kevinmac]

I'm a little late. DS was six months on the first and had his appointment Thursday. He's 18lbs 11oz and 28" long. He's thinning out a little. He loves rolling-can't get enough. He can only sit for a few seconds unassisted. He's in size 4 diapers to contain blowouts, but that's not working. He wears 6-9 month and some 12 month clothes. He sleeps pretty well going to sleep around nine and usually waking around four or five. He loves watching our dog and is always smiling or laughing. He's been into babbling a lot lately too. We are so lucky with this little guy.
