6 month check up

E.A. went for her 6-month check up yesterday (10/19/06). She is unbelievable. She got 4 shots and she didn't even cry. She just wimpered a little at the last one. I'm calling her super baby now.

Her stats were interesting. 28" long. That's off the charts. Over 95th percentile. Her doctor told me she would be over 6 feet tall. Now Danny and I are arguing over whether she will be a model or an athlete. I want her to be an athlete. Since Danny hates sports, he wants her to be a model. I said no way. My child will not be a bulimic/anorexic chain-smoking coke snorting piece of eye candy. I want her to be a tennis star. But I guess it's not really my choice, is it. Sighhh.

She weighed 14 lbs, 12 oz. That's just 11 oz. more than at 4 months. She dropped to the 25th percentile for weight. The doctor said that was fine. She's just started on solid foods (if you can call mushy peas and sweet potatoes solid), so she should put on some weight more weight in the coming months.

Her head circumference was 17 1/2 inches. That's also the 95th percentile. She's got a big head. The doctor said that was good.

It's so exciting to see your little one growing. She's just so sweet and so adorable. I love her more and more each day. I can't wait for her to start talking.
