6 Month Stats

All went well at the 6 month check up. Eloise got very positive reviews which made her parents very happy.

Weight: 15lbs 8oz - 50th percentile
Height: 27 1/8" - 95th percentile

I thought it might take a while for Ellie's boy friends who are 4-5 months younger to surpass her in weight, but now I think it will happen very fast! This was the most tolerated round of shots so far. Of course there were major tears at the first prick but when it was all done the crying stopped almost immediately and I think dad even got a smile. Tom commented that it was weird hearing a "real person" cry from her. Or as Oprah calls it, the "ugly cry".

I failed to notice at the previous doctor appointments that there is a mobile hanging over the scale. This time it captured the attention of Eloise.



And here is an example of just how awful my voice is...and of cute Eloise sitting up.
