Helena : 6 months

Helena had her six month check-up on Tuesday morning. She is a little over 25 inches tall (63 cm, 25th percentile) and weighs 10 lbs, 13.5 oz (4.93 K). This is a little less than she weighed two months ago and a few ounces more than she weighed at two months. We have started supplementing with formula. She took to the bottle without any fussing. Our Dr. isn't panicking since Henry fell off of the growth curves as a baby, but is watching the situation. We'll go back in a few weeks for a weight check. We are going to wait until she is growing before feeding more solids since they aren't as calorie-dense as milk.

She has no teeth yet, is good at using her hands to grab things and still likes to suck her fingers. Here is a video from the beginning of August of her sucking her toe. Neither of the other kids were as interested in their feet as she is in hers.
