6 month stats

She didn't have her 6 month appointment until she was 6 1/2 months (and yes, the extra two weeks count). But her stats have dropped a bit. Guess she's leveling out.
Weight: 17.6lbs. 67th percentile.
Height: 26 inches. 75th percentile.
Head size: 44cm. 78th percentile.

This appointment was probably the most brutal. She was a mess as soon as she had to lie down on the crinkly paper. It's never been an issue before. Then they subjected her to some vision test where they put probes on her head. She was not a fan, but passed with flying colors. Then she was subjected to the doctors exam, more laying down on the table. It got very loud in that cramped little space. This was all even before the shots!! She got 3 shots this time and was a wreck. It took me much longer to calm her down. Part of it, I think, is that this room had no window, so I didn't have much to distract her with. The past two times she was able to look at cars and such and calmed down within 2 minutes. I took her straight home where she proceeded to just meltdown all night. Nothing could make her happy. Usually when she's on her changing table and mad I try to sing her a song to chill her out. It was beyond that. I just let her scream until I put her to bed. It was bad. She had a fever the next day too. Got up to 101.9! Poor thing. She recovered and was her usual self the next day.
