6 month visit

Laura saw the doctor today for her well visit.

Stats:
17 pounds even...that's 90th percentile
26.6 inches long ... that's 95th percenitle

We were told she's happy and healthy and thriving and the doctor made no comments that she ~has~ to be on solids anytime soon - (unlike the NP that we had at her 4 month check up!) I did tell him she did NOT like the rice cereal and he said if it seems to be a taste aversion - we can try a veggie first, and then mix that with the cereal. But he said if it's a developmental thing - don't worry about it and she'll do better in a little while longer. I did pick up an avacado at the store for her... when that gets ripe we'll try that.

She got 2 shots today and the oral vaccine too.
Next time (9 months) she doesn't get any :)
She did really well with them - cried during them, but quieted down really well and was very happy all evening long :)

The little white dot on Laura's gum... Dr said it's not a tooth - I think he said it's a clogged saliva thingy... (not sure the real term he used!)

I still want to believe that the terrible diaper rash from the big nasty poo she had along with the terrible nights (waking 4-6 times) since Easter are related to teething - but Dr doesn't think so...
I'm happy to say Laura was only up 2 times last night though. When I woke up at 1:15 to feed her, I felt like a new woman! Ah, what a solid 4 hours of sleep will do for you!

Speaking of sleep - I'm headed there now!
