Kayla had her six month check-up today. Can you believe it! I can't. She is now 28" long and weighs 15 pds 11.5 oz. She is very tall for her age but her weight is average. She got 4 more shots today and did so good. She cried for maybe 30 seconds and then was all smiles again. The doctor said she is ready for stage 2 foods, yogurt, puffs and cherrios. Then in about a month she can start having baby waffles, toast and other fun things. We're so excited to feed her all the new foods. I love shopping for them. She also gets to start weaning off of her Prilosec and hopefully within a month stop taking it completely. We're keeping our fingers crossed that her acid reflux won't come back.
Still no teeth:( The doctor said her gums aren't even swollen yet. I'm getting so frustrated. I keep thinking she's getting a tooth but then nothing pops out. I thought she had one coming in on the top but the doctor said it was her gum line. Shows what I know! Oh and we can start giving her bug spray (except on her hands and feet because she chews on them) and sunblock. Thank god! The mosquitos are horrible and I hate to see my little muchkin get eaten up by them.
So after our visit we had to wait an hour for the rain to slow down since it was down-pouring. I'm talking buckets of water were falling from the sky. It was ridiculous. Plus it was thundering and lightening and I didn't feel like going to the car with a metal umbrella while it was lightening out. With my luck the umbrella would get hit.
After we finally made it home two hours after the appointment ended Kayla started to scream. Her leg was completely swollen from the shots. The poor thing. I couldn't even touch her. So I put her in the bath tub and she LOVED it. She didn't want to get out. I let her sit in there for about a half hour even though they say that's too long. But she was so calm and happy in there. Her poor leg is all bruised and swollen. I ended up giving her some motrin and she's down for the night now. Oh and I do mean the entire night. She has been doing so great with sleeping through the night. If I put her to bed at 7 she gets up around 7, but those last few times I said she was waking up at 3:00 was probably because she went to bed at 5:00 (her choice, not mine). So she officially in the "sleep through the night" club. Yipeeee.
We'll that about sums up the day. Hope everyone is staying dry. Oh and someone please send the sun back our way. This rain is just getting to be too much. Enough already!
