Carleigh 6 month check up

Carleigh turned 6 mths on Friday! Today she had her 6 mth check up. She weighs 17.9 which is 79%. Her height is 26 1/4 which is 76% & her head in 17 1/2 inch. which is 93%. Big head must run in one of our families because both of our kids have large heads. She isn't concerned it doesn't seem with Carleighs head the way she was with Jillians, so that is good. BUT, she is concerned with Carleighs muscle tone. She has asked us to get an assessment by a physical therapist. She said she doesn't think that it is anything medically wrong. But at her age, Carleigh should be rolling over, putting weight on her feet & sitting up. Which she did roll over from her belly to her back, but dr said that was the easiest way to roll over & her big head probably helped (yes the dr actually said that. lol). When she tried to get Carleigh to put weight on her legs, she kind of slumped her shoulders & she should be more rigid. She didn't sit up well at all, but she was getting mad, so I think that hindered the sitting up part. She has sat up a little here at home. It isn't really a bad thing, I don't think. I'm a little sad & concerned and if you know Chris, you know he is sad & concerned. I figure it can just be a little exercise for the chunker butt. And who knows, they may do her assesment & say she is fine. I meet with the lady this Wednesday to fill out paperwork. So, we will see.
She has started eating baby food. And she loves it. She is eating at least 2 jars at a time. She opens her mouth so wide for the next spoonful. And then gets upset if we don't shovel it in faster. She is sleeping pretty well through the night depending on when we feed her last before we go to bed. Her teacher at school said she is the most laid back baby they have there. I hope that lasts because Jillian is so not laid back. Drama queen at 3!!!
