On Wednesday Lila had her 6 month check-up with her pediatrician. Mike and I were both excited to show her off to the nurses and the doctor. We were both pretty confident that she was right on track and sure enough, that was the report we got! She weighs 16.05 lbs., which puts her right at the 50th percentile and is 26.5 inches long which is the 75th percentile for height. She is growing like a weed and hitting all of the key developmental milestones!
She got some shots, just routine vaccinations at the appointment, and beleive it or not she really is a trooper. She of course cries and looks at you with eyes full of disappointment, but it doesn't take her long to bounce back and pretty soon the tears are all dried up and the smiles resume. They didn't have any seasonal flu shots at the pediatrician's office due to the flu frenzy going on this year, so we went on the hunt for that yesterday. We found it at a familiy practice office in our neighborhood and last night went there to get her the first dose of the pediatric shot and Daddy got his flu shot too. This time she was really not impressed, I am sure she thought she was in the clear, at least for a few more months, and here we were sitting in a doctor's office again and they were giving her yet ANOTHER shot. We kept telling her it is all necessary to keep her healthy and it is because we love her, she didn't seem to understand!
It is crazy to think that the next time we see the doctor (fingers crossed) is at her nine month appointment in January, 2010...where did 2009 go?! We are so blessed with a happy and healthy little girl, we can only hope that she continues to stay healthy throughout the winter.
