We went for Alexandra's six month checkup with the doctor. In the waiting room she was "talking" to everyone in the room. We then went into the exam room and got her stats:
Weight: 17lbs. 14 oz.
Height: 27"
Head: 17"
That translates into:
the 75% for weight
the 90% for height
the 75% for head
After she had the weigh-in, Wes put her on the table. She immediately started crinkling the paper on the exam table. She would not stay still for pretty much any part of the exam. This is an example of me trying to get a picture prior to the shots and she is such a scwormy girl that she would not sit still. The doctor was happy with her development (rolling, sitting for short periods, grabbing) and her physical stats. She mentioned that she had been tracking the same way most of her life- and no she is not too thin for her height. Our doctor always seems so amazed by Alex's disposition. I value that a lot because I figure she must see tons of kids. She mention that the day care must love her because she is such a great baby. That was nice. We also got the green light to move to #2 foods and introduce water. Our girl is growing up!!

Well Alex has Megan beat! It is always nice to hear comments like that from a doctor who sees lots of babies/kids. I also love that she is a wiggle worm! I think it is a sign of a happy baby that just wants to take everything in.
Happy 6 month birthday beautiful girl! Of course she impresses the Doctors because she's just lovely! Even in 2 dimensions on the computer all the way out to San Francisco!
