Danielle's 6 Month Check-up

Danielle was 6 months old on Sunday. Yesterday we had her well-baby appointment. She is perfect--mostly my opinion, but confirmed by our pediatrician. She weighs 16 pounds 6 ounces, is 25 3/4 inches long, has good head control, reaches for things to put them in her mouth, turns toward sounds, is starting to babble repetitive syllables.

It's fun to read through the check-lists of what she's supposed to be doing. It's sort of like "yep, yep, yep, yep, oh?...huh, yep, yep, yep, yep." The oh? is that we're supposed to be feeding her like crazy--eight foods a day. I'll work on that. (She's not a big fan of food.)

She got more immunizations. She sounded extra sad because she's had a cold (not teething unfortunately--I had forgotten that sometimes babies just get sick) and she was tired. But it didn't last all day this time, luckily. She was extra-cuddly yesterday, but still slept pretty well last night (as in woke up twice but only needed to be held to get back to sleep).
