6 Month Checkup

Today was Audrey's 6 month checkup-tomorrow she will be 6 months old!! I can't believe it!
Audrey weighs 15 pounds and is 24 3/4 inches long. Her head measured 42 cm. She is in the 25% for height, the 30% for weight, and the 50% for her head circumference. She smiled a lot at the nurse and was very chill when the doctor came in to the room. We had never met this doctor before but she was very nice and had a very sweet disposition. She enjoyed Audrey from the start! She noticed that Audrey was very laid back and she attributed that to her having parents who are laid back. :-) The doctor also thought Audrey was very cute and had such pretty eyes. As blue as Audrey's eyes are right now she doesn't think her eyes will be brown but they could still change to green. Audrey got two vaccines today-one oral and one shot. She had her paci in her mouth during the shot so she didn't cry as much as last time. She also did better with swallowing her oral vaccine. I just wonder why vaccine makers create a vaccine that is oral for babies when they must know that babies have a tongue-thrust reflex that pushes everything out of their mouths! Audrey did swallow most of her vaccine today but it was with the help of the paci and the patience of the nurse. Each time the nurse squirted some of the vax in her mouth, I put the paci in to get Audrey suckling so she would swallow the vaccine. Some of it still squirted out the sides of the pacifier. So, now we are home and Audrey is playing with her toys on a blanket in the living room. I am going to go and play with her now!
