I grew!

We had my 6 month checkup at the doctor's yesterday.  She was very pleased!  We saw the same doc that we saw at the 4 day checkup/consult.  We really like her!  Here are my new stats:

I weigh: 17 lbs 4oz (50th percentile),
I am 27" tall! (75th percentile - this is a change from the 50th), and
my head is 17.5" in circumference (75th percentile)!

I also - have a TOOTH that broke through!  Mommy and Daddy didn't know b/c I'm not fond of letting people look in there - that place hurts - leave me alone, people!  I bit the dr's tongue depressor in half while she was trying to look.  She was happy that I was eating one "meal" of solid food per day, but suggested we start 2 - adding one in the morning.  The doctor also said I could have Mum-Mums (Mommy's friend from work brought her in a pack so I could try) - we tried these the other day - I was very excited about them because I could hold it and put it in my mouth and no one yelled at me!  However, it didn't go very well b/c a piece broke off and didn't dissolve right away and I started choking on it.... so we'll wait a few weeks or so before we try another one.

Mommy and Daddy (who didn't go because he is still sick - his new antibiotic makes him feel like he's drunk!) were hoping the doctor would increase the dose of my Prevacid, but apparently that doesn't go by weight like most other medicines for me.  But she did tell Mommy that instead of 1 tsp of rice cereal in the 4oz bottle, we should put 4 tsp in it. So Mommy tried to refill the old prescription, but it only had 10 days worth left - not 30 days worth - but it said I had 1 refill - who knew things could work this way??? CRAZY.  So Mommy will have to call the dr on Monday to get another prescription for me. 

Mommy convinced them to only give me one shot, so we get the Prevnar when we go back in 2-4 wks.  We had the Pentacel and the last dose of the oral Rototeq.  I was very good last night and today I've been very chill and just want to relax... so we're guessing it was either the Prevnar or the combination of vaccines last time that made me so miserable. 

We tried carrots the other day, and oatmeal is a go too!  We're expanding our food intake! This morning we tried mixing a little apple in with the oatmeal, and that went well.  So we'll just watch for the reaction from that. 

Tomorrow we are going to watch Daddy play hockey outside!  Getting some Vitamin D!  Maybe I'll get to wear my cool new hat.
