Monday, we went and saw Dr. Crittell for Mira's 6 month Well-Baby visit. The doc said "she's perfect" to which Kenny and I answered in sync, "well, we already knew that!"
We're such dorks. Dorks in love with our baby girl. Dorks on the same wavelength. So, I guess that's okay.
She got 6 vaccines!! Thankfully, 3 of them are combined and one is an oral drop, but that still left her getting 3 shots. =( I couldn't help but tear up a little this time, even though she was such a trooper, as usual, and barely cried at all!
She weighed in at 16 pounds 3 ounces (gained 2 lbs 1 oz from last well-baby at 4 months) and measured 25 3/4 inches (gaining only 1/2 inch after last time's huge growth spurt). This puts her at exactly the 50th percentile for both.
Of course, she's doing great developmentally as well. She's sitting up very well, making "pre-crawling" motions, tries to cruise a little, babbles away, looks when you call her name, she's working on that pincer grasp, trying to figure out object permanence, laughs and smiles all the time, looks where you point, etc, etc!!
No signs of any teeth yet - although she has been tugging at her ears, sucking her bottom lip, and chewing like a mad woman lately...
Mira's also doing a wonderful job of drinking from a sippy cup and a regular cup! We're practicing both, and she loves it!! We'll be kissing those bottles good-bye by her 1st birthday! =)
Wednesday, we took Mira back to Melissa Stephen's Photography for her 6 month shoot (she did her newborn photos as well). Melissa & Mira were both amazing, and we just can't wait to see the proofs! I think they might be even harder to choose than with the newborn pics! Mirabelle has so much personality already! They are going to be SO good!! I'll keep you all posted, and we'll have a new header photograph for the blog soon!!!
That's about it for now!
