A Tall, Skinny Baby

That's what I'd call Caroline after her 6-month doctor appointment today. I'm sure that at least the grandmas are interested in how things went. She's up to 14 lb 6 oz, which is 20th percentile. She's 27" long, which is 90th percentile. And her little head is 8th percentile. They're going to keep an eye on her head size though they don't think it's a big deal, but I'm not worried about it because my head is small and I turned out just fine (relatively speaking, anyway). :-) Plus, all of these numbers are somewhat useless anyway. They don't worry about them too much. And the nurse said that it's not necessarily that Caroline's head is so small, but that the shape of it just has a smaller circumference than most. But whatever...enough about Caroline's head. It's fine. :-)

The shots didn't go as well as usual. She's got strong little legs, and her kicking made things quite difficult. But the good news is that at her next appointment (9 mos) there aren't any shots! Though there is a blood draw.

Well she just woke up, so I better go! Here are some pictures of her today after we got back from the doctor's office.
