Today we went to the doctor for Kat's 6 Month checkup and vaccines. Unfortunately her normal Pedi is out on medical leave until at least June, but they aren't making any follow up appointments as they are unsure how long he might actually be out! I really hope he's okay, because we love having him as Kat's doctor! The doctor filling in was great though, so all is well.
Kat now weighs 16lbs 4oz and is 25 3/4 inches long. The new doctor was laughing at Kat getting into everything she could reach at the office and tearing up the paper on the table and asking us if we'd babyproofed yet, and advising we may want to get the extra strength stuff as Kat looks like she's going to be an absolute handful. Tell us something we didn't know! :) They were also incredibly impressed at how well she sits up on her own, and watching her pull herself to a standing position. She's been ahead of the curve on physical milestones consistantly since we had her, so no shocker there!
Kat got her vaccines, and as usual was an absolute trooper! We really expected to have a bad evening as Kat has been in an absolutely awful mood for about a week now, but after her big nap she's been playing happily on her own for about an hour now! (which is a big deal for her) I'm hoping this is the turning point, because we've been pulling our hair out (well the hair that she hasn't pulled out for us) trying to keep up with her. I am fairly sure that we have more teeth on the way, plus possibly a growth spurt. She goes through these phases, they last from a few days to a week or so, and usually coorespond to growth spurts... it's merely a matter of surviving them. Then we get our sweetheart baby back :)
Here's hoping things are on the upswing!
