6 Month Stats  

Posted by: Jenna




On Tuesday Greenlee had her 6 mo checkup. She weighs 18.3lbs and is 27 1/2 inches long. That means she gained a pound since last month and grew almost 2 inches! I think that's the most she has grown in length in such a short amount of time since she was born. She is in the 95th percentile for height, weight, and head circumference. The doctor said she is perfectly proportionate so not to worry about her being on the bigger side because she is just big all around...ha! Maybe she will be a volleyball player??


Greenlee's latest thing is rolling ALL the time. She loves to roll over, but always gets stuck on her belly-- she hasn't quite figured out how to get back over onto her back just yet. But, I'm sure she will figure it out pretty quickly. For a few nights in a row she would wake up at all hours of the night trying to practice rolling over and getting stuck. She would cry when she got stuck so we would be up multiple times rolling her back over. The doctor told me to stop intervening and just let her fall back to sleep on her tummy so I am trying to take that advice!

She is nowhere near crawling and doesn't have much arm strength yet, so we are still enjoying her being pretty stationary. Once she is on the move we know it will be a completely different ballgame.

In other news, I started a new job yesterday. It is 4 nights per week, so Josiah is doing the evening routine with Greenlee the majority of the time now. We are hoping it works out for a while to allow us to save money to do improvements on our house, then I will probably find a job in my field and we will most likely do daycare or a babysitter for Greenlee. We won't be having anymore children for a while (Lord willing), so I would like to work as much as possible now, and then stay home indefinitely once we have more children-- WAAAAY down the road. HA!

Oh yeah, I just realized I forgot to mention that we bought our first home! I will have to post pictures soon.
