6-month stats

Holland will be 7 months old in a week but we just got in to the doctor today for her six month check up. Her pediatrician was booked straight until today and I even made the appointment a month ago! Something I definitely won’t miss about Utah when we move to Ohio is overcrowded doctor’s offices.  Whenever I go to a doctor there are like 20 people waiting, and I have to plan out at least 1.5 hours for a visit. 

Holland is still a big baby, and she’s getting even bigger and chubbier.  Her doctor and a med student who was observing kept saying “wow she is a huge 6-month old!”  I’m afraid she’s going to grow out of her car seat soon (length-wise), which isn’t a big deal except that I like that she falls asleep easily in her car seat.  Carrying that thing around has made me feel like Popeye though.  It’s 30.5 lbs carrying her in her car seat, and my arm is starting to hurt a lot more now!

Stats (Compared with Carly at 6 months)

Weight (Holland): 19 lbs 11 oz (91%) – Carly@ 6 months: 16 lbs 11 oz (75%)

Length (Holland): 28 inches (97%) – Carly @ 6 months: 26.5 inches (60%)

And some pics of the girls both at 6 months
