Taelyn - 6 Months

Taelyn had her 6 month doctor's appointment last week (it was actually 11 days after she turned 6 months). She weighed 17 lbs., 15 oz., was 25 inches long, and had a head circumference of 16.9 inches. This was the first time that she did not gain weight from the previous month. The doctor wasn't concerned at all about that, though, because she still grew in length and she is still in the 80 percentile for her weight. The doctor predicted that Taelyn may continue to grow in length but not as much in weight as she continues to move more and start crawling.

Taelyn's movement has drastically increased in the last month. She is rolling over all the time from both front to back and back to front. She also wiggles across her bed and the room by arching her back and pushing off with her feet. It won't be long until she starts crawling. I have already prepared myself for this by baby-proofing the apartment!
