6 Month Stats

Allie had her 6 month appointment today and all went well. She weighed in at 15lbs 12 oz and measured 25 1/2 inches long. Both of those measurements are in the 50th percentile so we're right on track!

The doctor was not concerned about her continued lack of rolling (although we've been working on it diligently and she's getting so close) because she sits so well and has excellent muscle control. His exact words were that her sitting looks "fantastic" and gives him "no reason to believe that the lack of rolling is due to anything other than non-interest." That was good to hear.

He suggested going cold turkey in dropping the swaddle blanket. He said it will be a rough week but that she will eventually learn to sleep without it. Oh boy, if her sleeping now is not "rough," I don't even want to think about what a "rough week" entails.

She got three shots and did very well with them. She cried initially but stopped immediately when I let her look at herself in the mirror. I guess she's all girl, through and through!

He said she looks great and is very cute (duh!).
