6 months!

Well, almost. She's 6 months on August 8th, but we had her 6 month appointment this morning. So, we're in a new town so that means a new clinic. And a new pediatrician. I heard through the grapevine that Vanderbilt University Pediatrics was the place to go, but also heard there was a waiting list... I called anyways once we moved here and Wa-lah! There was a new pediatrician starting in July and actively taking patients. (Plus, the clinic is 5 mins from our house!)

6 month stats:
Height: 24 inches (born at 21 inches)
Weight: 12lbs, 13oz (born at 8 lbs, 11oz)
...as we've said all along... she's a tiny one, folks!

So, the good news from the appointment:
-We LOVE our new pediatrician and the Vanderbilt University Pediatrics facility.
-Meeting our developmental milestones! (Rolling, sitting with assistance, grabbing, eye contact, laughing/talking)
-We get to start learning how to eat solids!

The bummer news from the appointment:
-Ev didn't even gain a whole pound over the last 2 months (last weight: 11lbs, 15 oz)
-Because Ev's height and weight are barely registering on the growth charts, and, due to the sharp and continual decline since birth, we've got another appointment in 4 weeks to see if she puts on any weight with extra food between now and then.
-6 month shots! Booo! No fun for anyone!

Isn't she cute in her little baby-sized patient gown??


After the shots... snuggling Daddy for comfort!
