6 mos check up

Thursday, Dec 11, 2008

Ethan had his 6 months check up on Tues. He now weighs 13 lbs & is about 26" in length. He has finally made it on the growth chart. He comes in the 3rd% in height & weight for his age. Developmentally he is right on track. He should have started to pull himself into a sitting position when he was 5 months old but he started doing it at 6 mos so there is no real concern he is just slightly behind in that area. He is also starting to teeth. The dr thinks he wont actually be cutting his 1st tooth for at least another month but she noticed that his gums are starting to flatten out which appently is a sign of teething. His social skills are developing well & he also is showing more signs of independence by wanting to play by himself at times.
We have also started seating Ethan in a high chair when we are out at restraunts. He just isn't happy to sit in his carrier any more which we think is great. He needs a coat or blanket tucked behind his back to help support him since he isn't supporting himself just yet but it works out great. He is so well behaved this way. He likes to be able to see what is going on at the table.
