Kathryn had her 6 month appointment today, even though she's 6 1/2 months old. She was a trooper, despite the fact she got three shots and was tired. Here are her stats:
Weight: 15 pounds 13 ounces (50th percentile)
Height: 27 inches (95th percentile) She's a tall one!
Head: 50th percentile (I didn't catch the measurement)
I can't believe how tall she is, considering she's "technically" only 5 1/2 months old, having come a month early. She's lean though. Hopefully she'll keep her little figure.
She did great at the pediatrician's office and on the way home, Mom and I stopped at Panera Bread for lunch and then went to Bath & Body Works and Michaels. She was awesome the entire time we were shopping.
When we got home, I gave her a bottle and tried to put her down for a nap, but she just wanted to play, so I brought her in the kitchen with me to play in her exersaucer while I cleaned the kitchen and talked to my very pregnant best friend Katie. She was fine until all of a sudden she got very upset and just started wailing. It was hard to watch because she never cries like that. We gave her some Tylenol and I gave her a bath to calm her down. It worked after a while and then I just held her and she fell asleep for about a half hour, but I could tell she was in pain. We joked that another of her personalities came out: Hannah Hurts. When she woke up, she seemed to be a lot better and had dinner (carrots, which she loves) and was all smiles again. I'm glad she was feeling better. I hate seeing my angel baby in pain. Jared just put her down for the night and I hope she gets the rest she needs.
It was nice spending the day with her. I'm glad I used my last personal day to be with Kate and my mom. We had a nice day. Another good thing about today was the fact my dad said he found a box in the garage full of sweaters, hats and dresses my grandma and great-grandma made Tarin and I when we were little. I can't wait to get them for Kathryn. What a treasure to pass down! Maybe someday Kathryn's daughter will wear them too.
