6 month stats/appointments

[nerdykitten]

I didn't see one floating around and several of us have had or will have this appointment soon.

1. What are your LO's stats/measurements?

2. Does your LO have any new skills or anything else you would like to AW?

3. Any concerns about your last checkup?

[nerdykitten]

1. Damian is 17lbs 10 oz and 26.5 inches long.

Laurel is 13lbs 10oz and 24 inches long.

Gwen is 14lbs 11oz and 25 inches long.

2. Damian can roll both ways now and creeps across the floor with a purpose towards toys or mommy and daddy.

The girls are so close to rolling back to belly. Gwen now growls.

Everyone was cleared to start table foods and Damian us being taken off the high calorie formula!

3. Gwen's heart murmur can still be heard, but we have a few more months before her cardiologist sees her again so hopefully it will go away by then.

1. What are your LO's stats/measurements? 15lbs, 8.5oz, 26.25"

2. Does your LO have any new skills or anything else you would like to AW? Sitting up! Trying to crawl lol.

3. Any concerns about your last checkup? Nope!

[westiemom]

1. 17 lbs 12 oz

2. She can roll all over the place and sit for about a minute. She started trying solids!

3. No concerns

[oreille]

1. What are your LO's stats/measurements?
Weigh: 17 lbs 13 oz (56%)
Length: 28.74" (99%)
Head circumference: 18.11" (99%)

2. Does your LO have any new skills or anything else you would like to AW?
He can roll both ways, sit unassisted for a couple seconds at a time, and loves to smile and "flirt" with everyone. I don't know how I ended up with such a social kid.

3. Any concerns about your last checkup?
Do your LO's know their own names yet? When the medical assistant ran through her long list of developmental questions, that was the one that I noticed. . ."yeah, um, I don't think he knows that yet."

[nerdykitten]

oreille Damian and Gwendolyn for sure know their names. I am on the fence if Laurel does since you can say her name to try to get her attention and it doesn't work two-thirds of the time.

1. O is 13 lbs 12 oz, B is 12 lbs even. Not sure what their percentile is yet, since their appt isn't until Tuesday. I'm sure it's low.

2. Sleeping in their cribs!!!!! Playing with their feet. B rolled in her crib back to belly last night, but we haven't seen it happen.

3. Their appt is Tuesday...the only thing I'm concerned about is O's head. They will evaluate it and see if he needs a consult with PT for a helmet. I'm also starting to have feels about them being behind on milestones and being so small...

[nerdykitten]

It is not your fault if they are behind on milestones and are tiny wanderingheart. Laurel is seven months tomorrow and just barely 14 pounds which is not that much bigger than your LO's.

thank you. Really. It's been giving me anxiety reading about everyone's babies sitting up already and rolling. And I'm just here praying for my babies to even sleep through the night.

I was freaking out when DS was hardly lifting his head when everyone else's seemed to be doing it just fine. An irl friend told me to try not to put too much stock in other babys milestones. Every baby is different, as humans we not only tend to brag about our LO's but also tend to compare. A lot of times even though we feel like our babies are behind they are still well within normal ranges.

I guess that word vommit was just my way of saying I hear you on the worries (hug)

[teraiin]

DS doesn't have is appointment until he's practically seven months so I'm going to fill this in now and update later lol

1. What are your LO's stats/measurements? 14lbs 5oz, ~28inches

2. Does your LO have any new skills or anything else you would like to AW? Attempting to get into crawling position, working on sitting... He's gotten much more coordinated with his movements and playing with toys.

3. Any concerns about your last checkup? Well no appointment yet but mostly just, as always, concerned about weight.

On the developmental questionnaire for 6 months that my doctor does it only lists being able to roll to their side, not all the way over. Just a thought. And sitting is only leaning on arms for any period of time. And my kid is never going to sleep through the night at this pace, so I feel you there.

[westiemom]

oreille I call DD so many nicknames I doubt she ever knows her real name. I need to work on it more. I think she thinks her name is Noodle.

No rolling or sitting unassisted for any amount of time over here either. I think his weight is working against him at close to 20 lbs. like you I constantly worry he is 'behind' but he'll get there. Hang in there mama.

1. What are your LO's stats/measurements? M is 16 lbs and just shy of 27 inches. She is such a chunk compared to my son but still not quite 50th percentile for weight.

2. Does your LO have any new skills or anything else you would like to AW? She sits pretty well unassisted but will randomly just flip over. She rolls and spins herself around but doesn't seem to be trying to hard to crawl yet (I am a'okay with that because I'm super nervous about DSs small toys once she does).

3. Any concerns about your last checkup? Not really other than her becoming a pretty crummy sleeper. We love her anyway😜

I really hate comparing kids. I purposely don't look at milestones DS hit at certain ages because DD is her own person and doesn't need to be compared to him. DH has a co-worker who we are friendly with and whose son and daughter are very close in age to DS and DD and he is constantly comparing our kids. No thank you! I actually have the Teddy Roosevelt quote that says "Comparison is the thief of joy" on my home computer monitor. Especially on social media it seems like everyone's lives are so perfect but in reality we all have our own challenges.

[fishbulb]

1. What are your LO's stats/measurements?
18 lb 2 oz, 27 3/4 inches, 16 3/4 head circumference. Her doctor thinks she's going to be a tall girl.

2. Does your LO have any new skills or anything else you would like to AW?
She has started sitting unsupported well and she pushes up on her arms when she's on her tummy. She can just barely get her tummy off the floor right now. I think she'll be crawling by Christmas.

3. Any concerns about your last checkup?
Other than her doctor always runs about an hour late, no. He's great though - well worth the wait.

+1, except we call her the Bedazzler.

This thread was WAY down there! But I'm gonna go ahead and fill it out!! We had our six month appointment last Wednesday

1. What are your LO's stats/measurements?

14 lbs 14 oz - 26.5 inches long - 17 inches head circ

2. Does your LO have any new skills or anything else you would like to AW?

Started saying "mama" and "baba" sounds. Sits unassisted in boppy while playing with his toys. Can sit fully unassisted for decent stretches, but eventually topples so I still always keep my hands right there! He pivots really well on his tummy and looks like he's starting to contemplate how to get things that are out of reach!

3. Any concerns about your last checkup?

Nope! We had a great check up!

[ellesea]

1. What are your LO's stats/measurements?
A whopping 17 lbs 11 oz and 26 inches long.

2. Does your LO have any new skills or anything else you would like to AW?
He's almost figured out how to pull himself across the floor on his tummy. Right now he just rolls and spins wherever he wants to go.

3. Any concerns about your last checkup?
Nope

[Deleted]

1. What are your LO's stats/measurements? 20 lbs 2 oz, 27 inches

2. Does your LO have any new skills or anything else you would like to AW? She's spring up really well, only falls over after she gets tired. Scoots backwards like a madman and has even pushed herself forwards a few times.

3. Any concerns about your last checkup? Nope.
