Poor baby girl

Today, we had Madeline's 6 Month appointment. What a big girl! She was 16 lbs and 26 inches. Double her birth weight! Amazing. This puts her in the 40th percentile for weight and 48th for height.


She showed herself, as usual. I think she tries to impress Dr. D. Flashing her smile, talking and showing him how she can sit up.
The shots, oh the shots. Horrible. Her sweet, happy mood was killed. She cried. Real tears. And she had this look on her face like she had been betrayed and her feelings were hurt by the nurse that was talking and laughing with her 2 minutes before. The whole way home, I kept looking at her in the mirror and she had this perplexed look on her face, like what just happened? Poor baby girl.
She was her happy self again as soon as we got home and she had dinner. Meal time/baby food making will become more interesting soon now that we were told we to start to add meat. I may wait on that though, considering we started solids a month or so after it was recommended. So, I think we will stick to the fruits and veggies for at least the next month, then introduce meats. We'll see.
Here she was before her eventful visit with Dr. D....

We call this bouncing on command.haha.

  1. HA! SO cute. She is literally a bouncing baby girl. Sorry about those mean shots. I always hated how those needles just crushed my kids' happy go lucky mood. :( Hopefully she's feeling good today! <3 Susan
