6 Month Well Visit

Emily went for her 6 month appointment this morning and everything went very well. She now weighs 14 lb 10 oz (25 percentile), is 25 in long (25 percentile), and her head is 16 3/4 in around (50 percentile). Yes, she has a big ole head. :)
We can now also expand upon what she is eating as no allergies have shown up with the first foods! We are excited to try different things with her.
She received her first vaccine today, which I was nervous about. (You heard me right, her first vaccine. We decided to delay them and in some cases not give them at all.) I was waiting for her to start screaming and my heart to break. Thankfully that didn't happen, maybe because she only received one vaccine today. (She only received the DTaP today.) She did cry, but by the time she started it was over with and we were able to distract her really quickly. I am really happy with they way we have chosen to do the vaccines that we are doing. Only having one today definitely worked in our favor. Having a whole series of shots would not have been fun because this girl can scream when she wants to.
The rest of the day we kept thinking that she was going to have a bad day due to side effects of the shot, but it never happened; another thing that I think having only one shot versus a series of them helped with. So, her first shot is down and we all survived. Yeah!
Now if this darn tooth would finally pop through we would be all good. We can see it, but it is just hanging out right beneath the skin. Hopefully soon!
