6-month check-up

Aubrey has been eating like a champ so I was really excited to see how things would go at her appointment today. She is 24.75" long and weighs 15 lb 1 oz. Todd said they freaked him out at first because they put her height and weight in the 3rd percentile and started talking about endocrinologists and crazy stuff, but then they realized they had her as 9 months not 6 and that made a huge difference. She is in the 25th percentile for height and 45th for weight. The doctor said everything looks great, despite the little virus she had, which has led to some sleepless nights over the past week. Todd said she did fine while the doctor examined her, but when the nurse gave her the shots, she made the most awful face and opened her mouth like she wanted to cry, but no sound came out. He said it was so sad to see her in that much pain. But, luckily he brought a bottle with him and that made the world ok for her again. Luckily, she won't get anymore shots until her 1 year visit. She got the cool Tweety bandaids again, but as another sign that she is growing up, she pulled the first one off before I got home so she could see it. And then she pulled the 2nd one off shortly after.
