Emily had her six-month check-up today. Her growth rate has slowed down significantly, but reasonably, and she continues to exhibit age-appropriate skills (sitting up, rolling and reaching or objects, smiling and reacting to stimuli). She is 25.5 inches long (29th percentile), 15lb 8oz (35th percentile), and her head circumference is 16.5 inches (37th percentile). She is petite, but in proportion, and healthy.
Emily was vaccinated today. She didn't flinch when she received a shot in her left thigh. Perhaps she is less sensitive to being poked and prodded since she is a little sister who is often treated as a plaything by Belle.
Emily and I left the pediatrician's office and picked Belle up at school. Belle ran to me shouting, "I am dry, Mommy!" A proud reference to Belle wearing big-girl underpants (she of course wore her Fridays today) and making it through the morning accident-free. We only started potty training Belle a week ago (last Friday, April 26 at around 5pm, to be precise) and Belle has proven a quick study.
Two healthy, beautiful, joyful little girls. How lucky can one Mommy be?!
