6 Month Well-Baby Check-Up

Yesterday, Makenna and I went to visit Dr. Barer for her 6 month well-baby check-up. Our growing girl now weighs 16 lbs. 4 oz!! She measured 26 inches in length and her head circumference was 42 1/2 inches (50%tile all across the board)!! Dr. Barer was very pleased with her overall development as our gummy grinning girl sat in my lap just babbling away. :) She enjoyed showing her ladybug toy to Dr. Barer and how she is able to make it make noise by shaking it wildly in the air!! Once again Makenna was most upset by the oral vaccine, while the 4 shots didn't seem to bother her too much at all. "Such a trooper"- commented her nurse. We opted to have the flu vaccine administered and will return in a month for the second dose. Here is hoping our healthy baby has built up quite an immune system to handle a 6 hour flight with recirculated air without catching a "bug".
