6 Month Appointment

Well today we had Evelyn's 6 months appointment and that means shots. Yuck, I hate shots but I know that they are good for her.

She now weighs a whopping 13lbs 4 oz. and is 26 inches long. She is 10 percentile for weight at 75th for height. The doctor is not concerned about her weight because she is gaining and meeting all her milestones fine. We talked about starting solids and got the go ahead so tonight we gave her some rice cereal mixed with milk and she took right too it. We took pictures that I will post at a later time (we have to install software first). It is amazing how fast she is growing. The doctor said everything is perfect and she is doing great.

She is sitting by herself and just the other day pulled herself to stand on her toybox. It was amazing. Richard was able to see her do it which is great. He feels like he misses out sometimes since he is a work but he was able to see her do this the first time she did it. She is also leaping forward on the floor and out of arms. She wants to crawl just doesn't have it all quite figured out yet. Everyday she amazes me.

She got 3 of her 4 shots. They did not have one so we have to go back in when they get it. That really sucks because it is another day of her not feeling well. She was a tropper, which is good considering her grandpa would not be happy if she didn't suck it up. :0) She slept more but when she was awake she was happy. She took a two hour nap and went to bed at 6. Hopefully tonight goes well.

I will post pictures soon. Have a great night. Until next time....
