TheGottwoods: 6 month stats

Today we had our 6 month check-up at the pediatrician. Phoebe did great! The doctor said she is doing really well on meeting milestones and is right on the her growth curve. Of course the little munchkin wanted to show off all her new skills which made the check-up itself a bit more challenging than in the past. Every time the doctor would flip Phoebe onto her stomach, the little muffin would pop up on all fours and try to crawl right off the end of the table. Phoebe also managed to shred/attempt to eat at least half a role of the paper that covers the table. Let's hope that skill is an important six month milestone :) The doctor said the click in Phoebe's hip is a bit more pronounced, but she isn't going to order any tests just yet. The doctor couldn't get a really good look because Phoebe was wiggling too much, but said that was probably a good sign - she's obviously using both her legs with no problem - we're just going to continue to keep an eye on things as Phoebe grows.

Here are today's measurements:
(I am not sure why the percentiles are in ranges this time, that's how the doc gave them to us)
Head circumference: 43 something (we forget what but it was 75-90%)
Weight: 16 pounds, 5 ounces (50-75%)
Height: 28 1/4 inches (>97%)

There were only two shots today and Phoebe handled them like a champ. Right when she got the shots she looked at me like I had just horribly betrayed her, which I guess I kind of had since I was the one holding her down and all. Then she turned red and opened her mouth. She was so mad it was about 20 seconds before any noise actually came out of her - then it was all over in just a couple of minutes. There was a little whimpering while we got her dressed, but that is pretty typical - the munchkin hates to put on clothes. For the rest of the day, she was a little tired, but overall there weren't any lasting effects of the shots.

Today's pictures are from the morning. I was trying to get some shots of Phoebe playing with my (empty) coffee mug:
