Six Month Check-Up

Today I took Lily to the doctor for her six month check-up.  She is 14.5 pounds and 26 inches long.  She is in the 10th percentile for weight (25th corrected) and 50th percentile for height (75th corrected).  Developmentally she only failed her sitting up test but Dr. Silvernale said there's no doubt that she can't do it - she just won't stop moving long enough to try.  He couldn't believe how active and busy she was yet perfectly content just hanging out.  Apparently we have a really good baby - who knew with such a rocky start!  Lily was super intrigued by the stethoscope - she gave it a good yank when the doctor was trying to listen to her heart and lungs.  As with her other checkups, she had several vaccines.  She screamed for maybe five seconds while she was still on the table and stopped immediately when I picked her up.  Then she gave the poor nurse the death look - she's learning quite young.

The doctor and I also discussed cutting back her reflux medication.  Mike and I forgot to give it to her last night and this morning so we thought now was a good time to start....until she projectile vomited her entire bottle all over me before bed.  Perhaps it's a bit too soon to stop the drugs.....
