Yesterday was her 6-month visit. She checks out well for the most part. 16 pounds 7 ounces, 28.5 inches long and 43 cm head circumference. The perctiles are as follows, respectively: 60%, >95% (I think the dot was above the tallest line) and 35%. She's got the biggest head by far of the 3 girls and I think is the largest at this point. I can't quite remember but she just seems chubbier LOL! I figure she'll thin out when she gets to moving about.
What else, let's see... she rolls periodically but not on a regular basis. We started foods almost two weeks ago. So far she's had commercially prepared sweet potatoes and squash. I found a rough patch on the back of her leg at peds visit yesterday and the ped thinks it might be exzema from the foods. I'm to prepare fresh only for now and thin it with breastmilk. Hopefully the patch will go away. I do believe C's skin is the same type as Madison's so I wouldn't be surprised since Madison had it as well.
She got two vax but the ped threw me for a loop. We had agreed to give her body time to heal from the infection at birth so we set six months as the time to begin vax. Well, yesterday ped said she'd prefer to wait until two or three years. I'm so on the fence with this issue. I may have to return to work next year so I thought it wise to get started. Plus Matthew and Madison bring all sorts of stuff into the house from school as do the children I babysit. We're going to draw a titer at the nine-month visit and if she has immunities we'll not have to repeat those.
Mia got a flu vax, but we're only going to do the first dose. She's got a very poor diet and seems susceptible to everything. If she were still b/f I would have skipped it but she hasn't in over a year now. Wow, that was a fast year.
All in all, doing well. I have to set an appt. for Madison for the white bumps under her eyes and Charlotte goes back in February for her nine-month. Here's a picture for your viewing pleasure. I think my dear friend from UK sent this. I owe her a couple pix. Oy!
Okay, I couldn't find that one. Perhaps I neglected to take it so instead here's one in her Christening gown.
