I know every parent has to say this, but I can’t believe my baby is 6 months old already! I can’t believe it, but I’m excited about it. I feel like the first six months are just about survival and now the real fun begins!
We haven’t taken Keanan in for a well visit since his 1-month visit (because we’re delaying his vaccines), but I did take him in today to get his measurements (the part of a well visit that I look forward to the most anyway). Looks like the little man has been focusing more on getting longer than on chunking up (but I’ll still call him a chunky monkey). He weighs 17 lbs, 7 oz, which puts him in the 50th percentile (WHAT? A Hirst baby in the 50th percentile? Perhaps, I do need to take him to the doctor to make sure he isn’t malnourished). And he’s 28.5 inches long, which puts him in the 96th percentile.
At six months Ellie weighed 20 lbs, 1 oz, and Charlie weighed 18 lbs, 2 oz. Ellie and Charlie were both 27.25 inches long. I’m sort of doubting my measurement of Keanan (I actually did the measuring myself), but I do get lots of comments about how long he is, so I guess it’s possible that he’s longer than Ellie and Charlie were, but it just seems strange that he’s the longest and the lightest.

Wow, tall and skinny. Wonder where he would have gotten that?
Tiny, did I really read that as a description of a Hirst baby? Naw!
I still can't believe that he's so "tiny!!!!" But perfectly sized:)
Oh yes, so completely tiny! :) And absolutely perfect!
