6 Month Check-up

Collin is 6 months now, almost 7. I took him in recently for his 6 month check-up to find out he's an amazing 24 lbs! It's the truth. What 6 month old baby is this big??? Anyways, he's still not rolling over, which is fine for now, but he needs to be soon. If he's not, by 9 months, his doctor says she may have him do physical therapy! For not rolling over? Seriously? Well, this has put me into crazy, "you must roll over!" moods. I've been giving him a ton of floor time, hoping it helps. One thing the doctor suggested was to put him on his boppy for tummy time, thinking he'd use his arms more and eventually use them to roll over. Ya, we'll see. The problem is that since he can sit up now, he HATES to be on the floor lying down. Hates it! Especially tummy time. So, every time I lay him down he starts screaming within 5 minutes, or less. What a stinker. Wish me (him) luck! Here's some pictures I've taken of him on his tummy the past few days.

Not so bad, right?

Still ok with things...

Yikes!

  1. 24 POUNDS at 6 months??? Wow! Hopefully he slows down a little over the next 6 months. :) Good thing he is so cute. Why is it that tummy time is so painful - for the kid and the Mom? Both of our kids have just screamed during tummy time...

  2. I just love that chubby little man!! So much personality! He will roll over soon. Tristan may be in the same boat in a couple months, because I can never put him down without him screaming!
