6 Months

How is it that time always goes by much faster after the baby arrives than when you are pregnant? It should be the other way around! I can't believe Greta is 6 months old already. She has been such a blessing. . . so content. . . so easy going. . .so sweet. This is classic Greta these days--her cute little tongue is always hanging out (and her eyes a bit crossed)!Greta has seemed so much chunkier than Tess was. However, at her 6 month check up, she weighed less than Tessa did at the same age by almost 1/2 pound. She had also dropped from the 70th percentile to the 25th. When I came home to make comparisons, I discovered that from 4 to 6 months, Tess gained 1 lb, 13 oz. Greta gained 1 lb. 3 oz. I was a bit surprised to say the least. Greta's 6 month stats: 14 lbs. 9 oz. 24 inchesWe also have been concerned about her eyes. Our concerns were validated and we were referred to a pediatric ophthalmologist. We go next week and hopefully we'll have a few answers.

And since it is such a novelty for me to have two of my kids look so much a like, (my boys haven't ever looked much alike) I am always comparing their looks. Here is the most recent. What do you think? (My mom doesn't think they look much alike.) Note: I added a post quite a ways down the page if you are interested.
