Willa's 6-month stats

November has been a month of visits with all the specialists, and the last one was her 6-month physical this afternoon. Here's what we have:

Weight = 14 lb, 15 oz
Height = 25.75 in
Head = 43.8 cm

She did well with her immunizations and thanks to being doped up on some infant Tylenol, she took a good nap this afternoon and is sleeping again (in her own crib, by the way!! Another milestone!).

Results from the other November visits:
Hips = Good
Eyes = Good
Brain = Good. So good that she doesn't have to get any more EEGs!!! That deserves a SUPER and a gold star. She was an angel at the most recent EEG, which was last Tuesday. She didn't cry at all. And since the EEG results were fine, she's finished with them. She'll continue to be followed until she's two, since the myelination (development of the fatty tissue that's responsible for your brain power) finishes around 18 months. After 18-24 months, it's just your skull that's growing. These neurology visits have been very educational...At two, she will stop having her age adjusted for development (all the physicians record her as five months now, since she was a month early) and hopefully our girl will continue to thrive as she's done these last six months.

Milestones
Sitting up = You saw it in the video
Rolling over = Not yet...she hates tummy time, but she's getting more of it to strengthen those core muscles
Weight-bearing = She loves to stand, and is quite strong (we think, anyway)
Eating = Like a champ! Her repertoire now includes bananas, apples, pears, green beans, sweet potatoes, squash, strawberries, peas, and peaches, in addition to the breastmilk. Coming up, blueberries and mango - yum!
Sleeping = In her own room, not through the night...we're working on that...
Teeth = Not yet, but she's a drool monster and is always chomping on something - her hands, our hands, her tongue, anything that she can get into her mouth

I think that's about it. No exciting pictures, but these are exciting times for us. I'm especially excited that our specialist visits don't have to happen again until she's a year old; we get a small break from having appointment after appointment.

Hopefully we'll have more fun or funny pictures and video soon. Stay tuned!

Oh, we're heading to Baby Loves Disco (yes, a dance party for children held at a nightclub, but on a Sunday afternoon) this Sunday so we might have something good to post early next week. Baby goes clubbing!!!
