It's 6 month check up time! And this time, Mom came prepared! We arrived early, armed with bottles, blankets, and his lovey. Never know what we're going to need afterall.
At 6 months Chase is weighing in at 12lbs 14oz and he is 25.5 inches long(tall?) So he's growing, just not really gaining. But his docs are not discouraged. Dr. Pagel said he's still "on his own pace" and shows movement up the scale (I hate that scale.) Plus, it doesen't seem to be hindering his development & that is the most important thing right?
She also said he's a bit on the weaker side and his PT lady Darcy agreed today, but all that means is now instead of focusing on the rolling (he's got that down) we're now working on the sitting up part. Bumbos and even Boppys will be used all the time now :-)
Otherwise, our guy is doing GREAT. He is the most observant baby I have ever seen, taking everything in with those big blue eyes. Which looks like they are staying blue (I'm happy about that!) His laugh is the best sound in the world & when he talks it's more like growling mixed in with high pitched squeals. We have lots of fun in the mornings & his grandparents LOVE LOVE LOVE to have him at night.
He is one adored child & just eats it up!
Oh my gosh. The top picture is cracking me up!! I want to kiss him.
