Cecilia had her six month checkup on Friday and got some shots. Everything checked out fine and Dr. Kerbel even remarked that she seems like a very happy baby! I don't know if he was being sincere but I still liked hearing it.
She weighs 17 pounds and 2 ounces and is 26.5 inches tall. That's pretty amazing when you consider she was only six pounds, six ounces when she was born.
As usual I forgot something. This time it was my wallet for the co-pay and any diapers. It's a good thing she didn't have a big poop!
One thing he said about her sleeping pattern was that she should be able to start sleeping through the night. He said if she really cries to feed her, but to start pushing her to be able sleep for about ten hours without eating. We did it last night and it worked pretty well. Instead of responding and feeding her as soon as she started making noise we left her alone and she would fall back asleep. Eventually she woke up and was really hungry, but the difference between her wanting to eat and needing to eat was pretty obvious. Dr. Kerbel is really good - we are lucky to have him.
