Sadie is 6 months old...halfway to 1 year...CRAZY!!! I really cannot believe she is already crawling at 6 months because her big brother Jonah didn't crawl until after he was 9 months. She had her 6 month checkup at the doctor today and he said she is definitely advanced in development because of her movement abilities. She weighs 14 lbs 11.5 ounces which is only up just over 1 pound in the last 2 months since her last checkup (this put her in the 25th percentile). The doctor wasn't too worried, but does want to do a weight check in 6 weeks just to make sure she isn't dropping down percentage wise too much. We have had a lot of feeding issues, partially because of all my thyroid troubles and my milk production not being so great because of those issues. Because of all this, we have had to give her a lot of bottles of expressed breastmilk and quite a bit of formula as well. She takes a bottle which is a good thing because at this age Jonah wouldn't even take a bottle of expressed breastmilk. The problem is she is very distracted when eating and it doesn't matter if we are in a dark room, just the two of us...she is still distracted! It is like she would rather be down on the floor moving around than eating. She doesn't take her whole bottle sometimes so this could be partially to blame for her slow weight gain between 4 months and 6 months. She does eat rice cereal now, sometimes once a day, sometimes twice a day, but we are starting her on more solids this weekend so hopefully she takes well to those like she did the rice cereal so we can get her some more food and calories to help her gain some more weight!:) Everything else looked great and she is still up there for length, in the 50th percentile, at 26.5 inches long. Hopefully she decides to start eating better for us and there will be no problems:)
