Percentiles: 17th in weight and I think it was 30-ish in height? I don't remember, cuz I was hung up on that 17 number lol
Milestones: Will pull into a sit if you hold his hands while he's reclining on something. Consistently rolling front to back. He really started laughing today. If a toy if placed in his hands, he'll pull to his mouth, but still hasn't quite figured out how to reach and grab a toy himself.
Anything else? We got the go-ahead to start cereal, so we're gonna give that a shot tonight. The doctor wasn't super concerned about LO's weight, cuz he's always been a small baby, but said we could start solids to help him sleep longer at night and to chunk him up a little more
Percentiles: 50ish in height, 75ish in weight. I was just given a chart, not much talk about percentiles.
Milestones: Occasional laughing, pulling things to mouth, rolling on her side, sort of reaching, flailing in the direction of toys, 'talking' to us and herself, pulling up when we hold her hands.
Height: 25.6 inches--65th percentile Weight: 16.2--61st percentile I forget the head measurement but it was 69th percentile
Milestones: trying to lurch forward in car seat, on changing pad, and when he's on our laps; rolls to side from back...trying really hard to roll to tummy; laughs/coos/"talks" a lot; grabbing everything and trying to shove everything into his mouth; kicking at everything
He LOVES it! He frowned a bit the first couple of bites but by the end he was opening and closing his mouth excitedly while I got another spoonful. It was too cute! I was pretty proud of how well he ate off the spoon and I'm really hoping he always eats this well.

We have a follow-up appointment next month since DS dropped head and weight percentiles and hasn't gained weight since starting daycare. We seem to have gotten his digestion issues under control (it's a lie that gas drops can't cause issues) and figured out a feeding plan, we'll hopefully get his weight back up.
Milestones: he's a chatty, smiley baby. Can roll from back to stomach, but likes his side. He hasn't quite figured out stomach to back as his arm is in the way. He's likes to grab and throw things (may need to get him his own phone soon). Still have a head lag and need to do more tummy time and his assisted situps.
She loves playing with her feet and bringing things to her mouth. She giggled just once for the first time yesterday, otherwise she squeals to show her excitement. She loves to babble with us, but needs time to warm up to everyone else. She rolls belly to back but not the other way around. She used to STTN when she slept in her moving swing, but is regressing now that we're not turning it on anymore. We'll start sleep training soon and got the go ahead to try rice cereal mixed with breast milk and 2-4oz of water, each 1x per day.

Height: 25 3/4 inches - 60% Weight: 15lbs 13oz - 70% Head: 44cm I think. I'll admit I never pay attention to what she says about the head measurement.
He is so close to rolling back to tummy. He's still getting stuck on his shoulder/arm. Talks like crazy, this week he's added a new gurgling noise to his repertoire that he finds hilarious. We've gotten a few good laughs out of him but you really have to work for them. Can stand by himself for a few seconds of leaned against something. He hasn't quite figured out how to hold on yet.

We don't have our appointment until July! But according to the home scale he's like 20 pounds. My daughter was always under 4% on every scale, this kid must want to break all the charts. I'm jealous of all the smaller weights. His thighs are too chunky for the bumbo and my almost three year old can still pop in and out of it haha
Percentiles: 73rd in height, 52nd in weight, 47th in head circumference. She was 82nd in weight at 6 weeks, but the dr isn't concerned yet. If she drops down alot again, we will go in for weight checks.
Milestones: laughing, squealing, rolling front to back and back to front (with help getting over her arm), STTN
Anything else? They are sending us to the ophthalmologist for different sized pupils. She said it's usually a benign issue, but it's always good to checked out just in case. I never noticed it before, and now I need to step away from the Google.
Milestones: Rolls both front to back and back to front. Grasps and shakes toys. Moves toys from one hand to the other. Picks up toys within his reach. Attempts to sit up on his own and can sit up by pulling on our fingers with no trouble. Very giggly, smiley, and chatty.

Height: 25.5" - 89% Weight: 13lb 7oz - 32% Head: 41cm Milestones: rolls in both directions, sits supported, giggles, grabs things purposely, blows raspberries, coos and squeals, plays with her feet
Height: 25" (76%) Weight: 14 lbs, 11 oz (38%) Head: 42.5 cm (76%) Milestones: rolls back to belly like a champ, belly to back is improving. Grabs things, puts everything in his mouth, making fun new noises
Anything else? We saw someone different at the appointment today, a nurse practitioner instead of a doctor. She said my boy has a tongue tie, which explains my horrible hospital BFing experience. She's referred him to an ENT. Also, she thinks his un-descended testicle is referral-worthy too, even though our regular doctor says it will resolve on its own. I left very aggravated, and I'm considering making an appointment with our regular doctor as a "second opinion". Thoughts, ladies?

Oh yeah, and shots suck.
We just had a tongue tie fixed by the ENT last Tuesday. I can already tell a vast improvement in nursing. He still won't take a bottle but I think he might soon. He's just trying to figure out his new range of motion.

I've been EPing since we got home from the hospital. I'm ok with continuing that, but still want the tongue tie fixed. The testicle I don't see as a big thing, since the doctor said it was common and should resolve before his first birthday. That's the referral that bothers me a bit.

IMHO, get his tongue tie released now. DS had a tongue and upper lip tie we had corrected at about three weeks. We had his done by a pediatric dentist who uses a laser. We had to do tongue and lip "exercises" with DS for three weeks to prevent reattachment. It took about an additional week or so before DS was used to his new latch. It changed our BFing life. Aside from that, it can cause speech issues down the road. DS's upper lip tie likely would've created a gap between his top front teeth. Sometimes they get torn and correct on their own. Sometimes they hang around and you have them corrected (twice) as a teenager because you want to play the saxophone and roll your r's in Spanish. (BTDT, obvs.) Do it now while he won't remember and will heal faster. I'm happy to send you for before and afters if you'd like.

We're definitely going to fix the tongue tie. I've been EPing since we brought him home, and I'm ok with continuing that, but I don't want him to have any speech/activity issues in the future. Coming from a music teacher with an emphasis in woodwinds, I want him to have that option when he's older. Maybe that's why I can't roll my r's worth a crap...

Hehe. I read a little further and realized you were. If nothing else, just another proponent for having it done. Yeah, the ties are hereditary!

This exactly. We had DD's ties fixed at 5 days, and did the exercises. While horrible, she won't remember it, and it immensely helped feeding (I was EPing first 6 weeks and have been able to nurse ever since it completely healed up), plus we wanted to avoid possible speech issues down the road. It doesn't hurt to get a second opinion from your normal doc about the rogue tie and the testicle. It would ease my mind!

This exactly. DS had the revision done at 5 weeks and I wish I'd pushed the GP on the referral at his 2 week appointment and gotten it done sooner. The laser was quick and clean, especially since he had a deep posterior tongue tie. He was fussy when tired and trying to latch the first couple days, but got the hang of it within a week. The difference was really amazing.
My FIL had a lip tip that didn't get fixed until he was in middle school and required stitches for it. If we didn't fix it while DS was a baby, he might have been in the same situation.
Milestones: rolls back to belly all day every day. Is a good sport about tummy time these days. Is sleeping through the night, with the exception of 2-3 nights a week where he will wake up once after 6-7 hours.
Height: 26.25 inches Weight: 15lb 9oz Percentiles: 97th for height, 70-80th for weight (which is a change, she used to be 97th for weight too.) Milestones: rolling front to back, and working on back to front (so close!), babbling, cooing, squealing -- and playing with those sounds. Taking interest in images in books, and the act of turning pages. Grabbing things and bringing them to her mouth, even when on her belly. Grabbing feet.
Anything else? There is definitely a shift happening with daytime routine. Longer times awake and occasionally longer naps. I feel like she's about to consolidate her four naps into three. I think eating routine may be shifting too, but I'm not sure. She's keeping me on my toes with that one!
She's continuing to sleep through the night, but she has been waking up 2-3 hours after falling asleep lately, crying, which is quite unusual. All she wants is comforting, sometimes a little nursing, so maybe it's dreams, or some physical discomfort? I don't know. She is comforted easily and goes right back to sleep, fortunately.

Moving on to 4x bottle per day and 1x fruit or veg. followed by 3x bottle per day and 1x fruit and 1x veg+carbs when he's 5 months

Height - 26" Weight - 18lbs 1 oz Percentiles - 90+ in all areas Milestones - 6-9 month clothes. Great at baby push ups and tolerating tummy time more. Still no rolling other than one fluke but seems very close. Also seems close to sitting without support. Doc gave us the go ahead to start solids!
I can't remember the exact percentiles and they forgot to give me my sheet like usual! Height- 24 1/4 inches (36%) Weight- 14 lbs even (43%) Head- 16 inches (48%)
Milestones: grabbing for toys, grabbing feet nonstop, lots of smiles and giggles (sometimes laughing uncontrollably), very chatty periods, and just having more of a personality in general. Has shown little interest in rolling lately... We need to crack down on tummy time!!!
