6 Month Doctor's Appointment

Today was Olivia's 6 month check up! We are so excited to see how much she has grown.  Here are her stats:

Weight: 16.15 pounds (50th percentile)~ She has gained close to 3 pounds
Height: 26 inches (50th percentile) ~ She has grown 2 inches in 2 months
Head Circumference 43 1/2 cm or over 17 inches~ her head grew over 3 cm

She was such a good girl while we waited and only cried a little after the shots.  Usually she is a hot mess while the doctor examines her.  Everything looked good, we have to put some mineral oil in her ears for the little bit of ear wax she keeps getting.  The doctor did find that she has a little black spot on the outside of her eye.  Right now we are going to watch it.  She said it is not impacting her vision.  You could barely see the spot with the eye thingy they examine with.  I could barely see it when I looked through it.  So hopefully everything will be fine with that.  The doctor said her neck is looking better.  She said we can start trying the sippy cup with some water~ I tried it tonight... she was a little hesitant.  She may have taken one sip of water...maybe...we can also try some different foods.  Around 7-8  months we can start some meats~ pureed of course.  That means she can have turkey for Thanksgiving!!

Big girl on the scale!
