6 Month Well Visit

We went in for Maddie's 6 month well visit this morning!

Official stats:
Weight = 18 pounds 5 ounces (85th percentile)
Height = 28.0" (99th percentile!)
Head circumference = 43.25 cm (80th percentile)

She is still a long and well proportioned baby!

Since her 4 month appointment 2 months ago, she has gained 2 pounds 11 oz, grown 2.0 inches tall, and her head has grown 1.75 cm.

Maddie did great the entire appointment. She did get fussy towards the end as we were waiting for the shots because she was hungry!  She was great about letting the nurse measure her and take her vitals. She sat up for the majority of the time with the doctor, and she was so impressed at Maddie's trunk strength. She said most 6 month babies she sees can only sit a few seconds before toppling over - Maddie sat almost the whole time!

She also received her fourth round of immunizations - 2 shots (1 in each leg) and 1 oral vaccine - same as during her 4 month appointment.  She didn't take these as well as last time; she cried lots after the shots. We thought a bottle would calm her down, but it didn't.  Surprisingly sucking on her pants calmed her down! We did a switcheroo with her jacket so we could put her pants on so she could be decent when leaving the office.

We dropped Maddie off at Pau Pau's house so she could visit with Bak Bak, Uncle Jeff and Grand Uncle John.  I took the day off from work so we could run some much needed errands.

Maddie was fine the rest of the day after the vaccines, but we have given her baby Tylenol throughout the day just in case.

Before the doctor's appointment, I was feeling silly and decided to see if Maddie could fit in my Pump bag I lug to and from work.  She fit perfectly and enjoyed playing around with the straps and scratching the fabric.
Maybe I will bring her to work instead of the pump! (just kidding to anyone at my office who may be reading this)

She laughed and smiled a bunch for Bak Bak, and even kissed her on the cheek!
