Happy 6 month birthday my precious beautiful baby girl! You are the best gift that God could have ever given me! I can't imagine a more perfect angel! Your mommy and Daddy love you so much!
It is so crazy that our sweet Adah is now 1/2 a year old! I know it is so cliche to say but time has flown by! I was just talking with my friend Amanda earlier tonight and remembering going into the hospital to get induced...etc.
Adah had her 6 month check up and shots yesterday. She was scheduled to get her normal 3rd round boosters which is 3 needle shots and 1 oral. Since she was only 2 days short of being 6 months officially they went ahead and allowed us to get her the seasonal flu shot also. We were not sure about getting the H1N1 for her or not....we really wanted to get it with out the thermasol(however you spell it) but knew that not many were being made without it.....even though by law in CA the seasonal flu for infants and children has to be made without it. Since the supply for it has been so low and friends around her have been on waiting lists at their peds office for months we asked our ped if they had any....luckily they had just gotten a few in that day and said that we could have one for Adah if we wanted it....so we went ahead and go that too. I felt like such a horrible mom allowing them to give her not just 3 but 5 shots! She screamed and cry and it just broke my heart to pieces! I have been good with the last 2 rounds of shots but this one just killed me! After the shots were done and mommy got to hold her she was just fine. She was her happy, playful normal self all day long yesterday....until last night and she got a fever. Her fever lasted all night and all day today. All she has wanted to do all day is sleep and cuddle with mommy! Poor sweet girl still isn't feeling good or eating very well so if the fever doesn't go away tomorrow or she doesn't start eating better then we are going to give the doctor a call!
On to what Adah is doing now:
-sitting on her own(really good for the first time 10/31)
-reaching for EVERYTHING
-eating solid foods (sweet peas, squash, zucchini, pears, prunes, cereal) Adah is a eating machine...she love love loves to eat
-laughs like crazy at her daddy! She is such a daddies girl!
-finally taking at least one nap a day in her crib for 1.5 hrs!
-loves to drink out a big cup not a sippy cup
-still nursing every 2-3 hours
-Girl LOVES to talk
-flails her arms all the time
-LOVES paper....tearing it up...eating it...
-size 2 diapers
-3-6, 6 and some 6-9 clothes
Adah's Stats:
Height--26 inches
Weight--16.11
Head--43.5
The doctor said that she is absolutely perfect...which we already know....he said that she is above average in height and weight but that her weight is absolutely perfect for her height!
Adah still has not rolled over either way....we were concerned and asked the doctor about it and he said that some babies won't roll over. Rolling over is evidentally not a...what they call...."fixed" developmental milestone. Some babies roll over at 1 month and some don't until like 10 or 11. Adah is very content and happy and has no need to roll to get to anything...I guess we give her everything she wants....:)
Now to start the planning for her first birthday....the first 6 months flew by....I'm sure the next 6 will go by even faster!
