We've now met 3 of the 4 docs in the group practice.
Today's results:
Weight: 14 pounds, 2 ounces (50th percentile)
Height: 22 inches (75th percentile)
Head circ: 42 centimeters (almost to the 90th percentile!!!) lotsa brains in there!
They're still adjusting the chart based on her adjusted age, so the percentiles are based on an almost 4-month old average, not 6-months.
Other stuff we learned: We can start feeding foods, starting once a day, one new food per week. The doc recommended we start with fruits and veggies (Stage 1 foods) instead of the cereal, as they might be easier for V to digest.
No bug spray (unless all natural or something like Skin so Soft), absolutely nothing with Deet until she's 2 years old.
I was concerned that she was only eating 25-28 ounces/day, but the doc said anywhere between 24-28 is good for a 6-month old. No more than 34, but I don't think that's a problem!
No teeth are showing yet, but V is drooling like a mad woman, and chewing on everything in sight (even in her sleep):
And it's about time for another video: Giggles Galore!!!

It's so great to see how well Miss V is doing. I love her giggles. Love and hugs and see you soon,Mom
Such a wonderful way to start off my day! Thanks gals. It's so great to see her doing so well. Hugs to all.
That's great how good she is doing! She's catching up all the time. I have skin so soft bug spray with sun screen in it. You might be able to use that. Can't wait to see her eat real food! Her first fishing trip is coming up! Does she have a fishing pole? See ya soon! Tonight I make the no back cookies and tomorrow the sausage gravy and biscuits!
Love, Mom (Penny)
Awww... what a cutie.
I found that Skin So Soft works really well, I even use it on my dog, lol.
