Six Months of Baby Chandler

The "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres" Edition 

Chandler is now capable of rolling from her back to her front without props (props are for five month-olds).  I left her on her back, on the rug.  I returned to find her conquering Gaul.




Six Months Fun Facts


  • Stats: She is 26.5 inches long (that's around the 75th percentile).  She weighs 15 pounds, 5 ounces (that's around the 50th percentile). And her head is 42.5 cm (again, around the 50th percentile).
  • Mobility: Rolls front to back and back to front.  Scooches remarkably quickly, especially backwards.  She can push up with her arms and lift her torso clear off the ground.  Her pediatrician took this as a sign that crawling is imminent.  I once found her doing the plank pose, with only her hands and toes on the ground and the rest of her suspended.
  • Sleep: Better, sorta.  She seems to alternate good and bad nights.  A good night is two feedings.  A bad night is four feedings and a fussing or two. Momma is not a good momma following a bad night.
  • Temperament: Still just as happy as a clam and she loves her big sister.  Chan-la (as her sister calls her) is definitely a keeper.
