6 months old and so big!
We took her cupcake shot after setting up her high chair for the first time. She didn't pay much attention to it...she was pretty tired still from our weekend, but we managed to get a few pictures.
And...yesterday she went to the dr.
Weight: 14 lbs, 7 oz (25th percentile)
Height: 25.75 inches (50th percentile)
Head Circ: 16.5 inches (35th percentile)
We have a long, lean, big-headed baby!
He said she looked great though, and we're ready to start other foods. We'll likely do rice cereal first. She is still waking up to eat in the night (trying to encourage her to skip a feeding didn't work out so well--we ended up getting even LESS sleep)! She's been a pretty good sleeper, but for the past 4 or 6 weeks she's been waking up hungry more. Since she's so active, she's burning through her calories, but the Dr. said cereal will take longer to digest, so hopefully that means = more sleep! I can't wait for her to get back to sleeping 6+ hours a stretch.
Our second option is oatmeal. It tastes better than rice, so if we start with it there might be a bigger chance she rejects rice when we want to feed it to her later. Apparently the nastiest one of all is barley--Dr. said we might not even be able to find that anymore since no one likes it! ha....
Here's her iphone picture in the Dr's office--waiting to get her shots. Not the best quality because it's a phone picture--but way too cute!
(Yes, I planned this because I liked her 4-month picture so well. I matched her bow and diaper on purpose).
She did better with her shots this time around. Tiny fever, but for the most part happy, active and playing all evening.
