6 Months Old

Here are Micah's stats;

Weight: 12 lbs 10 oz...... 0 th percentile
Height: 24.25 in.............. 1 st percentile
Head: 42 cm .................17 th percentile

He has only gained 2 oz in the last 2 months. He is healthy in every way. He is happy and healthy and reaching all of his milestones on time. The doctor has no idea why he isn't gaining weight like he is supposed to. We have to go back in 2 weeks, if he hasn't gained enough by then, we'll have to do blood and urine tests. This child....if it's not one thing, then it's something else.

On the other hand, Micah has several new tricks that he can do. He is rolling from his back to tummy with ease. He will play for a few minutes and then roll back. He hasn't figured out that this is a way to get places yet, but I'm sure that is just around the corner. He has also found his toes. He sucks on his big toe like many suck their thumbs.

He is eating "solid" foods now. He has tried all of the vegetables and loves them. He likes to use the spoon and when I'm in a good mood I let him. He enjoys dumping the contents out. He tries to get his mouth, but usually he gets his eyes, ears, head, neck and floor.



Micah can sit up when he can use his hands as a kick stand. He also is grabbing at everything. I can't have him sit on my lap anymore if I expect to get anything done. He grabs at my phone, drink, and computer.

He is a beautiful baby, and so much fun to have around. He is learning so much and it is fun to watch.

He's so stinkin' cute! If he would tolerate formula I'm sure he'd chunk up reeeal nice :) He's so perfect though and I'm glad to see he still has such serious expressions. So cute! I miss you guys!
