6 Month Checkup

Lindsay went for her 6 month checkup today. Today it was just us girls. As you can recall for her 4 month the whole family went..that was also the time we were all sick with the flu! Thankful that this visit we were all well! Lindsay did really well...she got a little fussy towards the end. It was during her usual first nap of the day. Her first nap we are usually not too strict about she can usually do with our without it. It makes for an easier day if she has it but if we went by her nap schedule we would neve be able to go anywhere b/c she still takes 3 naps a day. I carried her in today...she is getting too heavy to carry in the infant carrier. We will probably get her a big girl carseat even though she is still a ways from outgrowing the carrier. She enjoyed me carrying her b/c she smiled and laughed at everyone who worked there! She was a total ham! We didn't have to wait long either which was nice. The doctor was tickled to see her again! She said she is right on target with everything. She isn't totally sitting up yet but I think its b/c she's so little she doesn't have fat little legs to prop her body up on. She can sit for longer amounts of time now but she still leans forward and falls over. The doctor got to see her "swimming" motions she makes though when she is on her belly. She weighed in at 14 lbs 10 oz. That seems so tiny! I guessed she would be around 15! That means she is in the 5% for weight. The doc wasn't concerned. I think she can tell she is healthy she is just going to be petite. I laugh though b/c Colby was in the 75% for weight at this point. She was 26 inches long. This put her at the 50% for height. I guess she is going to be long and lean! This is the first time that her height and weight have not been the same! I am sure it will balance back out though. She usually was 25% for both!
She received 4 vaccines today. She handled it wells he cried but it didn't last long! The nurse said she felt so bad doing it b/c she was so happy! Anyway so far she hasn't seem to run fever or feel too bad so hopefully it won't be too bad of a reaction. Last time she also had the flu so we couldn't tell what was the flu virus and what was from the shots! I hope they don't make her feel bad! The doc said no sign of teeth yet. I figure she will be 7 months atleast before she gets one like her bro was!
So thankful for a healthy report though on our baby girl! I can't believe next time she goes it will be for a 9 month checkup!
We enjoyed the rest of our day! The boys had fun at swim lessons. We all took naps and enjoyed being together at home! It was a nice day!
