Bennett is now officially 6 months old- it has really gone by so fast. We went in for his 6 month check up this week. We got a good report on Bennett's head movement this time- the hard work paid off. THe doctor is not worried but still wants to be tracking Bennett's head size, since his head circumference is really off the charts...I'm not too worried though since Austin and Chris also have big heads. I do have to send in to the doctor the circumference of Chris' head though. There is apparently an official formula they can plug in that looks at the parent's head and the child's...it is very genetically linked.
Well, Bennett now weighs in at 8.6 kilos or 18 pounds 15 ounces. The funniest part about this is that I looked back at Austin's chart and discovered that he weighed 8.7 kilos (about 19 pounds) at ONE YEAR! So if Bennett continues this growth pattern he would be twice as big as Austin. I am assuming his growth will slow down here at some point, but it was almost comical.
Chris is back safely, which we are thankful for. All the boys seems a little sick and Bennett still isn't so into sleeping but we are doing fine other than that.

Well, as you know, big heads run in the family. Chris earned the nickname, "juthead," in kindergarten, because of his huge cranium. I remember being in elementary school, a few grades ahead of Chris, and the kids in my class were commenting on the size of Chris' mug.
That is why the Cardinals hat I gave him for Christmas a couple of years ago, had to be a stretch fit hat, because I wasn't sure exatly of his head size, to get him a fitted hat.
