6 month check up and some other goodies

Today we had Aubrey's 6 month check up with Dr. Sipher. Aubrey did such a great job, and even held a conversation with the doctor. She is now 16 pounds 4 oz and is 26 inches long. She seems to be growing at the right track because she is in the 50% for both her weight and height. Dr. Sipher was so excited to see that Aubrey is now able to sit up on her own. She even told us that she feels her bottom teething coming in.

Aubrey had to get 3 shots and 1 oral medicine. She did really good with the medicine, she even opened her mouth for Nurse Mary as she was giving it to her. Shots were another story, yet they were the same ones she got when she was 2 months old. Aubrey cried while they poked her but as soon as mommy picked her up the tears went away. Thankfully at the 9 month appointment we don't have to get any shots besides the flu shot.

We got the okay to continue on to stage 2 fruits and veggies along with getting her some Mum Mum crackers. Dr. Sipher told us that we can giver her very small amounts of our food as long as Aubrey is picking it up and feeding her self. She thinks that when Aubrey is 9 months old she will no longer be taking baby food from a jar and be eating food like we eat (How crazy is that??). Thankfully that is still another 3 months away and I have time to prep myself. This little girl is growing up to fast.

Yesterday it was so nice we took Aubrey to the zoo. Here she is just hanging out in her stroller with her sunglasses on.
