Quinn Marcus is six months old now! He's halfway to his first birthday,
and the time is going by so fast. He's almost sitting up
unassisted. He can do it for a couple of seconds, but then he tips
over. Very soon he won't need any help sitting up. He reaches for
toys, and everything is going right to his mouth. We've had to
start telling Mia to be aware of her little toys and keep them away from
him. She does a good job with it but still needs some reminders.
She's so sweet with him. Sometimes she stops what she's doing just to go
give him a hug or kiss. She does dances and makes silly faces at him when
he's upset because she just wants to see him smile all of the time. The
only time he seems to bother her is if he's being loud when she's watching tv.
This morning she kept exclaiming, "Quiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn!!!! I can't
hear my show!" She did this a few times and then hopped off the
couch to go over to him in his walker. She said in a soft voice,
"What's wrong baby? Do you want your paci?" and proceeded to
plop it gently in his mouth. They adore each other, and it makes my heart
happy.
I took Q to his 6 month appointment last
week. His head circumference was in the 100%. Wes said that's
because he's smart, and he has a big brain. He was in the 93rd percentile
for his height (28cm) and weighed 16lb 8 oz (28%). Dr. C said that
his weight is more like about the 50th percentile based on the patients he
sees. He also said that if his growth pattern continues this way, he'll
easily be 6 feet tall when he's grown.
Although he hasn't quite mastered sitting
up yet, he's a pro at rolling over. I've had to retire the playmat.
He rolls to the edge and was frequently getting his legs tangled up. Now,
I just put him on a blanket on the rug. I have to keep an eye on him,
though, because in just a few seconds he can roll to the edge of the rug and
onto the hardwoods. Another funny thing he's doing is shrieking just to
hear himself. He'll squeal really loud and then look pleased with himself.

The playmat kept getting in his way.
