Finally went in for Griffin's well baby check up this morning (kind of ironic to call it that, don't you think?!?)
I took just him and Lila since the big kids were in school. First of all, Lila was hilarious! She was so good it was amazing. She walked by herself the whole time w/out holding my hand. She talked to all the nurses and the doctor and she wasn't scared to be there at all! She held Griffin for most of his appointment, and was just a joy!
(I was also worried about taking her potty b/c I had so much stuff to carry, but she was great and went before we left and didn't have to go again. I love her being potty trained.)
Griffin was in a great mood too. It made the whole trip much easier. The bad news is that his ear that he was on antibiotics for is still not better, and the other one has actually gotten infected too. So that means more and stronger antibiotics for him. I'm so NOT thrilled about that. (I don't think I've ever shared my opinions on antibiotics - or medicine in general - on the blog before, and I probably won't, but lets just say I'm not a fan of them) Hopefully he'll finally get well soon.
Here are his latest stats:
Head -- 16.75 inches -- 12th% (up from the 7th :)
Length -- 27 inches -- 59th% (down from the 65th)
Weight -- 17 pounds 2 ounces -- 32nd% (down from the 40th%)
So, he is growing great. He is lots bigger than both girls, and almost identical to the size that Jackson was. I really like that b/c I feel like now I see that even though Jackson had problems and was born a pound and a half smaller than Griffin, he must have caught up quickly and been really healthy!
Also, I feel like Griffin is a pretty big kid. He is a good size, but it is only the 32nd%. So, no offense to anyone, but "Where are all the monster kids?" I can't imagine a 6 month old much bigger than Griffin, but they must be out there somewhere! (Along the same lines, I know where all the tiny kids are, so I'm not just singling out big kids. The tiny ones would be my 35 pound 5 1/2 year old and 24 pound 2 year old :)
So, that is all then news on Griffin. He is great, we love him tons, wouldn't trade him for the world!

goodness, your kids are adorable! I love reading your posts about them. I can't believe how big they all are.
oh, and all the monster babies showed up in my family pretty sure, with me tippin the scales when i was born. ;)
I've got the monster babies. Nearly all of mine were in the 80-90th percentile for weight their whole first year. They came out big and stayed big!
