6 months appointment...

Yesterday we had Alessandra’s 6 months appointment. I love going to see how much she grew! Well yesterday she weight in 17lbs 15oz (I thought she was heavier then that) and 27in long. She is good with the weight and height so I was happy to hear that. The doctor says she moves a lot so that’s why she doesn’t gain a lot weight! The doctor asked me about her development and I told her the list…
1. sits up by herself
2. crawls
3. grabs things
4. stands up (hold on to something like the crib)
5. eating solids
6. rolls over
7. talks
a. baba
b. mama
c. papa
She said she is doing great in the development and I have nothing to worry about! She asked me if I was going to do the flu shot because it was in and she is of age that she can have it. I stated no because I really not crazy about the whole “flu shot” thing. I don’t like how they give you the little of the flu to help you fight it if you come across it. I’m old fashion, when we get it, we fight it the natural way… lemon tea, chicken noodle soup, and sleep and sleep! Plus she doesn’t go to day care so her odds to come across it, are slimmer! The doctor agreed! She got one shot and we have 3more to go. So I’ll be there the next 2 weeks! So over all I was very happy with the appointment.

***side note: I have Alessandra on a weekly shot schedule meaning she only gets one shot at a time. So instead of one 6month visit it goes into how many shot there is. So 4 shots equals 4 visits! She ends up with no side effects!
