6 Month Wellness Visit

Weight: 19 lbs, 14 oz. (90th percentile)
Height: 27.5 in. (85th percentile)
Head: 44.25 cm (75th percentile)
Body Mass: 18.48 kg/m2

Chase is obviously growing tremendously. He is literally the size of a 1 year old, a linebacker in the making.
He continues to challenge us with his spitting up & random sleep habits. For the most part he is sleeping through the night from 8-9pm to 6-7am, but not always. Sometime cries once or twice a night, or gets up around 3-4am to eat, but we have tried to avoid this feeding as much as possible. He takes 3 naps a day.
Feeding: He gets 3-4 feedings of breast milk & 1-2 feedings of formula per day (equaling about 5 bottles of 6-7 ounces). He eats oatmeal in the am, a fruit & veggie for lunch, and rice at night (about 2-3 tbsp each). He has tried butternut squash, sweet potato, bananas, & apples so far. Loves everything.
Developmentally, he sits unsupported and plays, stands with support at his activity table, rolls easily in both directions, and gets to almost crawling position on his stomach. Loves peek-a-boo & watchin his little sister. He is a happy baby overall, very cuddly & lovable!

For Thanksgiving this year we celebrated with my family on the Sunday before since Cheryl & Christine were traveling to their in-laws for Thanksgiving day. Then on thanksgiving, I worked and then we had dinner with my parents and the Wolaks.
