Anna had her 6 month well baby checkup this week. She is 17 lbs 6 oz (75%ile) and she is between 28 and 28.5 inches (between the 98%ile and 100%ile). Yes, you read correctly 100%ile!!!!!!! She is one long, strong little girlie. The reason why I have the range for the length is because the nurse measured her at 28.5 inches but when the doctor saw this was the 100%ile, she wanted to measure her again to be sure. The doctor measured her and she got 28 inches on the wiggling baby who was trying to roll over and grab the paper on the table. So, I figure that her real height is probably somewhere between the two! The doctor says that this still does not mean that she is going to be tall. She said that really long babies grow to be average sized adults and that shorter babies grow to be tall adults. I know this to be true anyway because I know someone that is a tall woman who recently told me that she was a preemie! I was surprised about that! I do hope that Anna is going to be tall. Of course, whatever she turns out to be is fine as long as she is healthy but I just think it would be great to be tall!
As far as the shots went, Anna was not really upset about them at all, she was upset about having to lay on her back on the table. She did cry for about 30 seconds or so after the shots but as soon as we dressed her and put her in her seat, she was fine! What a good baby =)!

That is great! I'm beginning to wonder why little girls are doing much better at Dr. appts. than Caden.
