6 month Check-Up

Lucy went for her 6 month "well visit" appointment on December 30 (yeah, yeah.... almost 7 months old, but whatever....) She is growing and growing and growing, and doing exactly what she should be doing at 6 months. Lucy had a blast playing with (and eating!) the exam table paper, but it was no consolation when she got 5 (yes, FIVE! Ouch!) shots in those chubby thighs at the end of her visit! The doctor also found she had an ear infection in her left ear, which we think explains some of her irritability and waking up at night lately. He started her on some amoxicillan, and she seems better already! Here are her stats:
Height: 26" (50th percentile)
Weight: 18 lb 6 oz (90th percentile)
Head: 17 1/8" (50th percentile)

(On a side note- I know you are not supposed to compare, but I HAD to look and see how these numbers compared to Maggie's stats.... Almost identical, except for the weight. Lucy has a full 2 pounds on Maggie!)

Here are some cute pix from the doctor's office

Drool much?

Had Santa known this was so much fun, he could have saved a ton of time (and money!) getting presents for Christmas this year!
