On Monday, I took Claire to her 6 month well baby appointment. Her pediatrician and nurse were pleased to share that she went through a major growth spurt over the past 2 months. She gained 2.31 lbs, weighing in now at 15 lbs and 2 oz. In length, she grew 2 and 1/4 inches, stretching just over 26 and 1/2 inches from head to toe. That moves her up to the 40th percentile for weight and the 75th percentile for her height. Her noggin measures 43 and 1/2 centimeters, remaining in the 75th percentile. As doc says, Claire is no longer "small" - she is long and lean. Must be all that good food she's been eating! :) Maybe she will shoot up past me and be tall like her father?
In other news, Doctor Nielsen said Claire doesn't seem to be very close to cutting teeth yet but that I shouldn't worry. She said Claire is hitting all milestones she should be (rolling, tummy time, interested in food, interacting with people, sitting up with assistance, good sleep patterns, etc). She received 3 immunization shots again. She got mad at the first shot, cried with the second shot and was purely pissed at the nurse for the third shot. Poor baby. She was still a trooper. Overall, her 6 month appoint went well. Now it is time to baby proof the house! Light socket covers, here I come.
Her next appointment for 9 months is Monday 9/17. Our assignment between now and then (besides babyproofing)? Getting her off the bink. We'll see how this goes.
