Anna is officially 6 months old now. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. Half a summer, all of fall, and half of winter has gone and passed. The good thing about aging babies is that they just get cuter and cuter every days that passes.
We went in for Anna's 6 month check-up yesterday and she is doing great. She weighed 15 lbs., 14.5 oz. (50th percentile) and was 26.5" long (75th percentile). She got a her flu shot as well so they postponed another one of her shots so she wouldn't have to get more than 4 shots at once. We will have to go back in another month to get her second flu shot and the one she missed (I can't remember which one it is right now - I'd have to look at her chart).
We've been holding off starting on solid food simply because I'm lazy and I just don't want to change the routine we have going. Anna is on a great nap routine and she is sleeping GREAT all though the night.
Her doctor said no hurry to start solids - they prefer that you wait until at least 6 months (although some people start after 4 months) and can start anytime from now up until 9 months. She is very interested in watching us eat so I figured I'd give it a whirl. And Meredith was sooooo excited to have her eat 'big girl' food.
This was right before we tried rice cereal. She was just as happy as can be.
She wasn't sure what to think of all that odd stuff in her mouth.
Just about ready to gag in this picture.
Ummmm.....yeah. It was an epic fail. We'll keep at it to see if she will get used to it. If not, we'll wait a few weeks and try again. I remember Meredith took to it right away and it was a very easy transition so I'm hoping today wasn't a sign of difficult times to come.
And just a pic of the big sister (and helper). I can't leave her out.
