Sophia's 6 month checkup

Sophia had her 6 month checkup on Monday (yes, 3 weeks late) and she is doing well. She weighs 19 pounds 12 oz (97th percentile) and is 26.5 inches long (75th percentile). Sophia is exactly the same height as Madeline at this age and just a bit heavier. I had to move her up another size of diapers AGAIN! Her clogged tear duct is still there unfortunately. If it doesn’t clear up by 9 months, she’ll have to get a procedure done to fix it. She is behind the curve on gross motor skills which we already knew (sitting up, rolling over), but it still isn’t a big deal yet. She is a happy, healthy baby and doing great! She LOVES her big sister and Madeline is just about the only one that can get her to laugh. I can get a small half-chuckle every now and then, but Madeline can get some good laughs from her. It is so cute to watch. She is loving her cereal and I give her new tastes to try all the time. I still haven’t tried pears again. Maybe in another month.

Well Check-ups

Both Madeline and Sophia had their well check-ups today, 2 years and 4 months respectively. Madeline only gained half a pound in the past 6 months and grew a little over 1 inch. She is average for both and completely healthy.

And Sophia is doing a great job of catching up to her sister! They practically have the same stats for 4 months. She is 15 pounds 14 oz. (90th percentile) and 25" long (75th percentile). Madeline was 15 pounds 15 oz. and 25.5 inches long. Sophia is a little behind developmentally though, but it's nothing to be concerned about yet. She is just a little behind the curve on smiling, cooing, head control and rolling over. I think alot of this is due to her personality though. She is very laid back and just loves to chill and observe everything. Sooo opposite from her sister. We'll start doing more tummy times to build up those baby muscles before her 6 month appointment.
