Keegan monthly update: 6 months

Height: 25 and 3/4 inches (13%)

Weight: 14 pounds, 5 ounces (5%)
Head circumference: 42 cm

Vision: You're really starting to notice and pay more attention to everything around you. 

Movement: We still don't have a roller, but you turn on your side all the time. You grab at everything ALL the time now. You are also sitting up great with support from the boppy - and are starting to use your hands to support yourself sitting up.

Eating habits: You generally eat every 2-3 hours, except at night. We backed off rice cereal or introducing any other foods this month because your appetite has been low (still sick) and we want you to get the right nutrients when you eat.

Sleeping patterns: You're still a bit off in the area with the lingering ear infection and colds you've had. You still go to bed by 7:30, but we're getting up to put your paci in a few times per night.

Sounds/words: You are still babbling, but have seemed a little more uncomfortable with the sounds you're making. We can tell you're sick - poor guy!

New discoveries/accomplishments:

  • You found your toes! Pretty much any time we lay you down your toes go up in the air and you grab them.
  • You "play with toys" so much more now, thrashing them about as you talk to us. You have finally been able to grab the dragonfly on your playmate that you've wanted to badly to get for a while now.
  • You sit up great with support and are really close to shedding the support and sitting on your own. You'll be there soon.
  • You colored for the first time holding your own marker.
  • You love bubble time at school!

Places you went/adventures: 

  • You hung out with Grams and Pops while mommy and daddy went on a date night! Despite better judgement, Pops took the opportunity to put you in University of Florida gear...
  • You played with your cousins - you love hanging out with your cousin, Alex.
  • We laid low for most of the month as we finally got over your ear infection.
