6 Month Stats

I had my 6 month checkup yesterday morning. They made me get naked to go on the scale. HOW embarrassing! All embarrassment aside, I now weigh a whopping 16 lbs 4 oz, almost 10 lbs more than when I was born. I have also stretched a lot and am now 26 1/2 inches long. Wowzers. Mom said she can't believe I am getting so big now. My doctor, Dr. Upton, is usually pretty busy and I really like to see Jennifer, the nurse practitioner, so I waited patiently in the room for her to come see me. Well, kind of patiently. I sat on the table and tore up all the paper while I waited.



Jennifer was very proud of how well I can sit up now. I told her all about the new foods that I am eating......pears, apples, squash, sweet potato, and carrots. I HATE green beans so Mommy promised she won't give them to me for awhile. Jennifer also told mom that my bottom gums were really swollen, so that's probably why I haven't been too interested in eating solid foods the past few days. She said I will probably have some teeth popping through soon. I had to get three stupid shots this time, but I was very brave and barely cried.

I am so very excited for my first Thanksgiving tomorrow. I am going to keep begging so hopefully mom will give in and let me have that turkey leg! Nom nom nom nom......
