We went to the pediatrician yesterday for our 6-month visit. I think Megan will be one of those kids who hates going to the doctor's office. Of course, it would help if she didn't get painful shots every time she was in that office. I think having to be stripped down to her diaper has something to do with it. As soon as I put her down on the table she started to scream. I had to play pattycake and other games to calm her down and distract her. Soon she was laughing and rolling around on the table. But when she turned over she discoved the joys of the paper liner. The liner never had a chance. It was ripped to shreds!
When the doctor came in to check Megan (a loooong 20 minutes later!) she was on all fours and rocking away. The doc was impressed. She even told me that not may 6-month olds even show an inkling of wanting to crawl at this point. Of course, she's probably just saying that to make me feel good, but hey, I'll take it! At one point the doctor was talking to me and I think Megan did not like what she said because she basically yelled at the doctor. The doctor laughed and said that Megan had such a great personality. We like to think so too!
Here are Megan's Six-month stats:
Weight: 18 lbs 1 oz. (75th to 90th percentile)
Height: 26 inches (50th percentile)
Head Circumfrence: 16.3 inches (25th percentile)
She got four shots and cried through them all. The fourth one was a 1/2 flu shot. She'll get the other 1/2 in four weeks. Oh joy.
