Richie is now six months old! Here are the latest stats:
Weight: 16 pounds, 5 ounces - this puts him in the 35th percentile unadjusted, 75th percentile adjusted
Height: 24 3/4 inches - 4th percentile unadjusted, 50th percentile adjusted
Head: 16 1/2? inches - 8th percentile unadjusted, 50th percentile adjusted
His head shape - Richie has a narrow head, but it's kind of hard to tell because of his big, chubby cheeks! The pediatrician said that it's common in preemies and will fill out soon.
Solids! This kid LOVES them! So far he's had rice cereal, bananas, apples, and pears. He loves all of them. In the next couple of days we're going to give him sweet potatoes and maybe peas. It's so fun to feed him - he makes the funniest faces the first few bites, then gets really excited and starts kicking his little sumo legs :)
Demeanor - We have a pretty happy little guy! He smiles in the mornings and if he's awake before we go in there, he spends some time just babbling to himself. He also is always happy when we drop him off and pick him up from daycare.
Daycare - He seems to like it! The teachers always tell us how great he is - he is so easygoing when he's there. He likes to be on his tummy and look at himself in the mirror. I personally think he gets a lot of attention because he's so cute!
Milestones - still a gray area. He rolled over one time, but hasn't done it since. He doesn't sit up on his own yet and his grasping is still not where 6 month-olds usually are at yet. He's coming along, though.
