6 Month Stats

Yesterday Q went in for her 6 month check up.  She's weighing in at 16 lbs. 9 oz. and 27½ inches long that puts her at the 67th and 97th percentiles, respectively.  For comparison's sake (keep in mind that Y had her 6 month well baby appointment a couple weeks early at 5½ weeks) Y was 16 lbs. and 26 3/4 inches long at this point. 

Healthwise, she's doing well with the exception of the fact that she is 6 months old and still not rolling over yet.  She will roll from side-to-side but not from front-to-back or vice versa.  Dr. B. told me to give her a month and if she's still not doing it to give him a call and he wants to send her in to be evaluated by a specialist.  Needless to say we're doing lots of tummy time now, which I've admittedly neglected, a few times each day for 5-10 minutes spans.  The last thing we want is to have to take her to a specialist especially unnecessarily.  We don't believe there's anything physically wrong with her we just haven't really aided her in building the proper muscles to be able to develop the gross motor skills she should have at this stage.  So we're focused on doing that and praying she'll have it mastered within the next month!
