6 month stats

For those of you out there who might care... P went to her 6 month check up on Thursday last week. She got 2 vaccines and had a CBC done. All went well... She didn't cry for either of the shots, but did give out a loud wale when the nurse got too close to her face. She is so in need of her personal space, and when she doesn't know you and you get too close, she freaks! I find it fascinating as F was never like this!!

She is 14lbs and 15oz. She is 26 inches long. Her height is about 50% for her age and her weight is between 10 and 25%. So she's on the small/petite side. Which is fine. She even still fits in her 3-6 months clothes, and we have a ways before she'll jump up to the next size.

She's a happy baby, and loves to hear music and loves to watch her brother. She sleeps well, most of the time. She's been up early every so often since my previous post about her sleep, but nothing excessive as she was at that time. She's quiet for most of the day... unless she's hungry or wants a change of scenery. She does squeal more than F ever did. And loves to use her vocal chords that way. She seems to be less excited to use her voice as F was. But I am sure that will change as she grows up.

Her hair has mostly fallen out, and is now being replaced with new budding locks. I was looking at it today, and she'll probably have lighter hair like F does. She has the same side cowlick that he does, and two on the top of her head that each go a different direction. I'm hoping long hair will correct it. :) She has striking blue eyes, very similar to her daddy's, but much more bluer.

She is starting to enjoy the paci but just to get herself to sleep and then she spits it out. She'll onl take one kind and we only allow her to have it in her bed or carseat (or now). She tends to be a tummy sleeper, as she's learned to roll over and is too tired to flip back over herself onto her back.

She's a spirited girl. Her nickname is sassafras. She's like any girl, she expects things to go her way. And we're all learning together that it doesn't always work out that way :)
