6 months! Half a year already.

here's my 6 month collage
she had her shots the evening before, so she wasn't quite as peppy as usual this morning when I took these. Her thumb stayed in her mouth the entire time.

and just for fun, I still like all the pics in regular size:
^ Nana likes the finger on top of the nose. :)




there were lots more, they just really start to all look the same after a while.
(and yes, that is her dress from her xmas card pic.. still easily wearing it 2 full months later)


Summary of her Well-Baby appt:
weight: 15 pounds, 10.4 ounces. (46th percentile)

length: 25.5 inches (54th percentile)

she actually lost .4 ounces since her last weight check on New Years Eve. She dropped from the 78th percentile at her 4 month appt in weight, down to 46th percentile. This percentile range seems to suit Buggy well. At her 4 month appt (and in the pics), The Bug was quite the little "chunk".

her height is holding constant in the 50th percentile range. She's average height right now for her age.

(head circumference also fell in the approximate 50th percentile range)

We are continuing zantac for her reflux.

And have the okay to start supplementing formula (possibly as early as next week), as my freezer stash of breastmilk is pretty depleted. I pump about 7 ounces a day at work - but she's drinking anywhere between 12 and 16 ounces a day while at daycare. I'm running at a deficit here. :::sigh::: I'll still continue to pump and send what I have to daycare with her the next day - but if it's only 6 or 7 ounces, well then she'll be getting formula. Eh, I'm quite proud of myself for making it to 6 months without formula - since my original plan was to only breastfeed 3 or 4 months.
