ok my son will be 6 months on the 14th, he has been reaching his milestones one after another after another.. he has one tooth through the gum and two i can see coming, he can roll over both ways immediatly after laying him down, he pulls his feet up to his mouth, shakes toys and picks them up, removes pacifier and tries (sooo cute!) to replace it.. he can sit if i hold his hips, bbut is wobbly and falls forward if i let them go. now to his size.. he still fits into some newborn clothes and wears all 0-3 month clothes all brands.. he was 5 weeks early weighing 6 7.7 and 19.5 inches long, he has grown roughly ( its darn hard to try to measure an awake baby at home lol) 25.5 in and roughly weighs 12.5-13 lbs. his head still measures the same as at his last appt at 3 months where they put him on nutramigen because he wasnt gaining weight on enfamil and breastmilk. . i feel like he is still sooooo small compared to other children.. i just need comfort, he has an apointment coming up but im so nervous that he is growth wise soooo far behind. ( my great grandmother was at her tallest 4 foot 10 )
thank you for all the answers! it sounds terrible but please dont judge me, i never met his biological fathers family, but from what i was told they are all kinda short, but fat.. he left us when i found out i was pregnant and the army has a great way of hiding people.. My mothers side (great grandma, my grandpa , my mom and one aunt, and myself are all around 5’5 and average+ a bit o’ love lbs.. ) are all shorter, my moms mother, My father and his entire family are in the high 5 feet to 6’5 range. . so seeing Gabe in my father and brothers arms it really takes me back a few steps.. he seemed huge to be a premie, and he was, but its like he hasnt grown much since then.. i love him even if he stays the size he is now.. my little man. <3

My husband & I have a total of 5 kids. We both have 2 from previous marriages & a 1month old child together. We took the kids out of town to see my husband’s mom this past week. My husband’s kids, now 10 & 6 had not seen her since birth and my children had never met her. My husband & I have been together for 3 years & married for a year & a half. The first night we arrive she gives my husband an envelope with an order form in it. She tells him to take a picture of his kids and the baby (his biological kids) and send in the order form. Apparently a she’s having a blanket made of her grandkids…but my children will nt be included. She had tons of gifts…a landslide of designer clothes for my huband’s kids and the baby, but gave 2 pair of underwear for my 8 year old & apack of t shirts and underwear for my 5 year old.She also gave my huband’s kids each and gave my kids ,which of course led to his kids bragging to my kids about getting more. We treat them the same why won’t she?
Its not about the money or the clothes!!! My husband and I provide plenty for the kids. It could have been sticks of gum instead of designer clothes and toothpicks instead of money! The point is that an adult shouldn’t put kids in a situation where they they are made to feel more important or less important than the others. In my opinion an adult should know that. If I had known this was going to happen, I would have spoke to my husband about it in advance and done something to prepare the kids for it.
