Today Caitlin turned 6 months old and like so many other monthly milestones for her, she got to spend her special day visiting the Doctor. Needless to say, she didn't like the appointment. They had to give her 4 shots so it wasn't much fun for her. Everything at the appointment went well though. She is now off the Prevacid for her acid reflux and her ear infection has cleared up. She's also grown quite a bit. Here's how her growth has stacked up after 6 months:
8lbs, 11oz at birth. Today - 17lbs, 15oz!
20.5 inches tall at birth. Today - 27.5 inches tall!
We also got the go ahead to start her on baby food. We get to start with orange colored foods like squash, carrots, and sweet potato. Then move on to green colors like peas and green beans. She also can have oatmeal instead of her rice cereal so hopefully she'll enjoy the variety more. :)
After the doctor we took her to have lunch with friends from my old job. We had a good time and for the first time, Caitlin got to sit in a restaurant high chair and eat with everyone. (usually we leave her in her carrier and she would sleep or cause such a commotion that we'd have to take her outside). I stayed home the rest of the day with her and she kept me busy most of the day. Back to work tomorrow! Hope everyone is having a great week!
