We can't believe our little girl is 6 months old already. We've looked at each other multiple times this weekend saying just that! Addy had her 6 month appointment last Thursday and was a trooper. She weighed in at 17 lbs and 26 1/2 inches long. Both measurements land her in the 75th percentile...'atta girl! She got 5 shots too...not so cool :( She was able to get the seasonal flu and H1N1 shots, too now that she's 6 months old.
Of course, I save up all my questions that I want the doctor to answer in my favor so that it convinces Vinh of it :) The first being SLEEP!! Addy has turned into not the best sleeper over the last month or so waking up multiple times during the night and still being fed once in the middle of the night. Dr. Swann assured us that she was now big enough to sleep through the night without getting up to be fed...WHOO HOOO! Vinh proceeded to ask how we should go about getting her to sleep through the night (I didn't even have to prod him to ask that...). The answer was to let her cry it out. That wasn't what Vinh wanted to hear, but I knew it would be the answer and I knew Addy would survive :) She has done just that and become a better sleeper in just the past few nights...in case you're wondering...Vinh has survived, too! We are all happier and healthier because of it :)
The other questions involved eating...Addy's doing really well in that area. Vinh's continued his cooking skills and become a baby food connoisseur...Addy loves it! (and so do I)
