Check Up From The Neck Up

Miss Thing had her 6 month check up last night. She's now at a solid 17.2 lbs (75th percentile) and 26" from crown to heel (60th percentile). Her head is 17" around, which is surprisingly only the 60th percentile...surprising because she's a Foster and they are well known for giant noggins.


Dr. Kennon told me not to worry too much that Sadie has given up rolling over. She said that some babies just don't feel it's necessary - but we still must practice. Dr. K. was impressed with her leg strength and how Sadie could sit alone - as well as lean forward and have the muscles to pull her self upright again.

Most impressive...she got 3 shots as well and didn't shed a tear. Thick thighs gave her enough padding to mask the pain...that, and the fact that she was busy trying to eat the protective paper on the table.
