Lincoln’s 6 Month Check Up

Back in January I took Lincoln in for his 6 month check up.  We’re still with a pediatrician that I do not care for but hopefully will get in with the a new/better one next month.  Lincoln’s doing well and here are his stats along with the bigs for a fun comparison!

WEIGHT

Lincoln               20 lbs even                        71%

Baron                  21 lbs 4 oz                           97+%

Jackson             22 lbs 4 oz                           97+%

HEIGHT

Lincoln             28 inches                               90%

Baron                29 3/4 inches                      97%

Jackson            29 3/4 inches                      97%

HEAD

Lincoln             47.3 cm (18.62 inches)    95+%

Baron                 18 1/2 inches                       97+%

Jackson              not written down             97+%

 

Since all 3 boys have been with different doctors for their 6 month check ups the percentage charts are a little different as some doctors charts went up to 95% and some 97%.  It’s still fun to see their sizes compared.  They are all such different and awesome little guys.  And on Jackson’s 6 month check up card it doesn’t say his head circumference, just has a 97+% written down so I guess he was about the same as Bear. 

Lincoln is a very happy and fun 6 month old.  He laughs and smiles and loves to be held (hence the lack of tummy time in his early days, he’s always being held or worn).  He is unfortunately a TERRIBLE sleeper.  The last few nights have been better and he’s only gotten up 4 times but man, I’m really feeling drained after 6 months of this crazy sleep stuff. 
Lincoln was evaluated by ECI (early childhood intervention) a few weeks ago and started physical therapy last week for torticollis and some other issues.  So far he’s loving PT and is doing very well.  Now to get him sleeping!

I feel like Lincoln’s first 6 months have been so wonderful and yet so chaotic with the move etc.  I’m really trying to relish in his every day.  He’s so precious, loving, funny and playful and I am just so, so very thankful to God for our amazing surprise 3rd baby.  I can’t imagine our family without little Lincoln.
