6 Month Check-up

E had her 6 month check up yesterday and the consensus is that she is a *big girl*! She is up to 19 lbs 10 oz (from 8 lbs 14 oz at birth) and 26 3/4 inches long (born 21 inches).
Apparently being at 97% on the growth scale for weight isn't a bad thing when you are a baby. The doctor said she is doing great and seemed happy with her weight, so way to go E!
She also had 3 dreaded vaccinations. She cried, but was easily calmed down. And unless there are some latent effects, she doesn't seem to be having any reactions to them- yay! After her 4 month shots she started crying about an hour afterwards and continued all afternoon- it was heartbreaking :(
The doctor said there is no rush, but I could start feeding her some mushy fruit (or veggies) and give her a sippy cup with an ounce or two of water in it to start practicing. She is growing up sooo fast!!
