Brennan - 6 Months

Last Thursday was Brennan's six month appointment with Dr. Myers. She gave him a clean bill of health, and was happy to hear about how well he's been eating. She didn't have much to say about his lack of lengthy naps except that often 2nd siblings have a harder time establishing patterns (due to constant running around with the 1st) and that since he's sleeping well at night we shouldn't really be bothered by it. Even though it deprives us (mostly Theresa) of a few hours of downtime during the day. Here's how Brennan stacks up against the competition:

Length - 28.5 in
Weight - 19 lbs 3 oz

Both are around the 75th percentile, so he continues to be a pretty big boy relative to his age. The bigger concern for us is that he is only barely within the size constraints of his infant carrier (limited to 22 lbs and 29 inches), so at some point soon we're going to have to move him to a 'regular' rear-facing car seat. Which means no carrying a napping Brennan from car to store to car, etc. We could upgrade him to a bigger infant seat, but given the weight of him in the current carrier, I'm not sure either of us would be able to carry him for more than 100 feet with out complete bicep fail.
