6 Month Doctor's Visit

Addie visited Dr. Greene on Thursday for her 6 month check-up. All is well and we are so happy! Addie weighed 15 lbs., 10 oz., which puts her in the 30th percentile! WooHoo!!! This is the highest percentile she's ever been in! She was in the 60th percentile for head circumference and the 50th for length. Her ears looked great, so Tommy and I can confidently announce that she has "found her ears" instead of worrying that she's just playing with them because they hurt. The Dr. said that her teeth should break through very soon and that it is possible for her to have hay fever/seasonal allergies, although it is rare for babies her age. Her development and everything else was right on target, so Tommy and I were happy. Rotten old nurse still had to give her 4 shots though, yuck. After Addie regained normal color, she was fine!



In honor of being 6 (and a half) months old, here are a six great things about our girl:

1 - She loves to "rub" and often falls asleep rubbing our hair, our arm, anything soft.

2 - She has really developed her personality, and smiles, laughs, and coos nonstop.

3 - She will go to most anyone, yet looks around and makes sure Mommy and Daddy are still close by.

4 - Mommy and Daddy are still her favorite toys.

5 - She can say so many sounds, and we swear can say things. (Ma, Da, Ba (the current favorite), uh-oh, ahhh, Mmmm are a few common ones!)

6 - She can sit up and roll over, which lets her do so many new things!

Here are some pics of our big girl sitting in her high chair - her newest accomplishment! (And a few peaches for your enjoyment!)
