6 months!

It's hard to believe Landon is half of a year old already...time sure does fly! It's very bittersweet. Yesterday (Friday, Feb. 19th) was Landon's 6-month Ped's appt. He was in the best mood and touching his toes and smiling the entire time he was laying on the table...it was too cute! Dr. Oliphant is always saying how he's such a handsome boy...Daddy and I think so too! :) The appt. went very well and he's right on for all the developmental things, growing right on pace, and is as healthy as can be (besides all of his cold sickness). Here are his current measurements:

Weight: 17lb. 10oz. = 52%
Height: 26.5” = 52%
HC: 43cm = 28%

Now we won't go back until he's 9 months, although I enjoy going every 2 months and asking all of the questions that I have saved up. The thing is, I google alot of things because I'm curious and love to learn but I need to get better about "not believing everything I read". For instance: I have read the average age for an infant to 'sit up on their own' is 6 months but really the Dr. says it's 6-9 months and usually closer to 9. She thinks it's best not to read all of that stuff, but as most of you know, it's pretty hard...the computer and google are two of my best friends, haha!

  1. I'm obsessed with googling too!! haha! I think that's why we never have questions when we go to the doctor. I still get the weekly emails for Johannah on developments and stuff and they always give a range on when they would start things. I also try not to compare Johannah to other kids because I know every kid is different! For example, I think Johannah seems a little advance on some things, but there are some kids younger than her that's already walking!
