6 Months

I can't believe it! Six months have already passed since we had Micah. I never knew before just how much a mother loves her child. Looking at it from the child to mother relationship is just not the same. For instance, I could spend long periods of time staring at Micah and wouldn't find it odd. On the other hand, as much as I love my mom, I would be hard pressed to even make a staring contest last more then 30 seconds. Anyway, I'm sure the info you're really looking for in this post has nothing to do with staring contests.

Micah had his 6 month check-up today (complete with the shots he loves so much) and to nobody's surprise he has grown again. So here we go: 4 months- 15 pounds 3 ounces (65th percentile), Now- 18.1 pounds (75th percentile). 4 months 25 inches (80th percentile), Now-26.8 inches (still 80th percentile). So not to drastic of changes with exception of his head which is now in the 90th percentile (up from the 60th). The doctor also gave me a prescription for a multi-vitamin with flouride in drop form so we'll probably pick that up at the pharmacy tomorrow.

Micah is now a super sitter and rarely falls over anymore. However, he still shows no interest in rolling and his attempts at crawling have resulted in just frustration. On the plus side, Micah is sleeping much better! We started using some techniques from the book Good Night, Sleep Tight and Micah is now a much better sleeper both at night and at naps. By the way Steph, thanks for the suggestion on a sleep book, if things end up not working out this way then I might hunt that book down. Anyway, Micah just woke up so I better go. But first the picture I promised of Micah eating squash:
