6 Month Check Up

I can't believe it, Shannon is 6 months old already.  Today she went for her check up. Her regular doctor, Dr. C, was not scheduled for this day so we saw Dr. M.  Shannon loves to go places and see new people, so today's visit was like a field trip for her!  She smiles at everyone and then, like last time, she is betrayed by the nurse with those awful shots! This time she really cried and, of course, mommy started with watery eyes. Im just a cryer, what can I say

She weighs 15lbs 5oz which puts her in the 50th%ile and she 

is 26 1/2" long, the 75th%tile.  So, that makes her a little on the tall and skinny side. My mom and I are hoping it stays that way. Being short and having short legs, we hope Shannon takes after her daddy and has long legs. 

Although Shannon loves to eat her cereal, fruit, and vegetables, she hasn't been as interested in the bottle lately.  Dr. M said he would normally suggest that we start giving her fruit and vegetables for lunch at this time. He thought it best to wait until 8-9 months to introduce this 3rd meal.  We're hoping she'll become more interested in the bottle so she can get all the nutrition she needs!
