6 months

Sam had his 6 month check up yesterday. He is doing great. He is 18lbs and is in the 75% for weight and height. (Ben was 9months old when he weighed 18lbs)! His balance while sitting is great for his age and he is progressing perfectly.

He is also doing really well with his sleeping. Most nights he goes from 9pm to 7:30am. He's been up a couple times around 5am to eat, but goes right back to sleep. I think that's phenomenal for his first week in his crib.

While we were at the doctor, I asked her how much sleep Ben should be getting. With naps he should be around 12-14 hours a day. Most days Ben gets 8 or 9. (The boy just wont go to sleep)! Her response, "He'll make a great doctor someday."

Go Sam go! I can't believe Ben sleeps so little. If Layla gets less than 10-11 hours just at night, she is a super crab. Then she still takes about a 2 hour nap. Each kid is different though, and Ben sure seems like a happy little fella when we see him.
