Today was Allie's six-month appointment at the pediatrician. She was very happy the entire time, from watching all the other kids in the waiting room to giggling at herself in the mirror in the exam room to trying very hard to destroy the paper on the exam table (which she accomplished quite well, by the way). She greeted both the nurse and doctor with smiles. She drank her medicine very well. When it came to the shots, she gave an initial look of horror and burst into tears, but stopped and went back to being her happy self as soon as I picked her up. No big deal!!
She now weighs 12 lbs., 12 oz. (4th percentile), is 25" long (20th percentile) and has a head circumference of 41.1 cm (15th percentile). So, she is growing well; and Mandy, our pediatrician, was pleased with her progress. She gave the nod of approval to move on to mixed baby foods, veggie and fruit puffs and Cheerios.
We don't have to go back to the doctor until Allie is nine months (June), and she won't have any shots then!! So far, Allie hasn't seemed to have any effects from the immunizations today. I gave her a dose of Tylenol before we went this time, so maybe that made the difference.
One new accomplishment to note: Allie is finally rolling from her back to her tummy. She suddenly flipped over yesterday while she was playing on the floor. She's been able to go from her tummy to her back since she was a week old, so this new trick has been a while in coming.
