Addison had her 6-Month check-up yesterday. Let's take a look at her stats!
Height
27" 90th Percentile
Weight
15lbs. 10oz. 50th Percentile
Head Size
16 5/8" 40th Percentile
Addison remains tall and thin. She is filling out a little as her weight was only in the 40th percentile at her 4-month check-up. Her head size has certainly gained some ground, since she has been only in the 10th percentile in head size up until now.
We will begin to feed her solids in addition to rice cereal that she has been eating for the past two months. Starting this weekend, we will be feeding her bananas (baby food version of course!). The doctor recommends introducing a new "flavor" to her every four days or so to give time for any allergies to appear - and also to get her used to the new flavors!
Addison received her third round of shots: Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis and Hepititus/Hib as well as her first flu shot. She will go in for a booster flu shot in one month!
Otherwise, Addison is in good health and is growing well!
Her next appointment is her 9-month check-up!

She is getting to be such a big girl!!! Bananas should be fun too!! Can't wait to play with her next week
Oh, and she may be sprouting a tooth anytime! The Dr. said 6mos is average, but some babies don't have teeth at their year birthday! Tim and I were both late teethers, so she may be the latter case..but we'll see! She does seem to be doing an awful lot of teething the past few weeks.
We're also waiting for some hair! When the light hits it just right, she really DOES have hair! Almost an inch in length - but thin and nearly white-blonde, but it's there, I swear!
