A shot in the leg

It's very different from a shot in the arm.  And it was really three shots.  El had her six month appointment yesterday.  She continues to be a giant baby, weighing in at 19lbs 4oz (91st percentile) and measuring out at 27" (86th percentile).  Add in her head circumference of 17 1/2" (82nd percentile) and you have an all-around giant baby girl.  And this giant baby girl took the aforementioned shots like a real champ.  She cried as she was getting them, but only for a few seconds, and then she fussed a tiny bit the rest of the day but that was it.

Today, however, she's been wiped.  She was up for an hour, then napped for two.  Then barely made it another hour before I just put her down for a second nap. I could tell she was ready when she looked like this:

We'll see how long this one lasts.  But she did manage to provide some entertainment thus far between naps.  Although Mom and I have been placing her in a bouncer chair for six months, she's just discovered that she can reach the birds hanging from the top.  Enjoy!
