Six Months

Julian had his six month check up a few weeks ago. He weighed in at 16 lbs, 2'2", which is around the 25th percentile for both height and weight, he's no pipsqueak though. He loves to eat and has been mowing down all sorts of new foods, he loves oatmeal and butternut squash, banana is the only thing he has been turning his nose up at.


At the check up the doctor and I were talking about how he is growing well and is healthy enough that he can now go through the night without a feed and how we can start to facilitate sleep independence, Julian had a lot to say during this discussion too. At first I thought maybe he was protesting, but a few days later after he slept throughout the night for the first time I realized he was just voicing concerns and asking questions, like any well informed patient must do.

After he demonstrated a solid habit of sleeping through the night we transitioned him to sharing a room with his big sister. They are so sweet together.






And now as Julian's sixth month is coming to a close he is scooting around a ton and occasionally getting himself into crawl position and launching forward to grab something in front of him. And another milestone is well in view just underneath his gums, cutting its way to the surface.
