6-month checkup

Annabelle went to see her pediatrician today and had to get three more shots...poor baby. But her checkup went great.

She is weighing in at 15 lbs. 13 oz., which puts her back up into the 50th percentile. She is 26.5 inches long, which is the 75th percentile (I thought she was long) and her head circumference is also in the 75th percentile (she has her Dad to thank for this).

The doctor said she looks great and is right on track developmentally. He tried to look into her mouth to see if any teeth are on their way, but she showed him her toughness and fought him like crazy. I think that because we've been giving her medicine since she was 6 weeks old, she does not like for anyone to mess with her mouth. She's always afraid something's going to get squirted in there! So he wasn't able to tell.

She doesn't go back for three months, and she doesn't even have to get shots at that appointment. Just a quick blood test for anemia!

She was real brave though, and after screaming her head off and shedding some giant tears, Annabelle was in a pretty good mood the rest of the day considering what she went through. And she got a stuffed zebra we've named Zeus from her Dad for being such a brave girl!
