Genevieve is 6 months old

Oh where has the time gone? Genevieve is now a little of 6 months old.

Last week we went to the dr.

She now is 26" long (daddy says your almost taller than mommy).
She weighs in at 15 lbs 4 oz.
Her head is 17 1/2"

She is doing well with the reflux, although Dr. wants to keep her on the axid for a few more months.

She is in the normal range for her height, and head, but dr. says she is under weight? Hello have you checked out her rolls? How is she under weight? By how much?
Well according to the Dr. she would of liked her to of doubled birth weight and be closer to 17 lbs. Wow..

So here was the conversation w/ the dr.

Dr.: What are you feeding her?
Me: Well I fee her the boobs on demand (although some days it feels like all the time). I have been feeding her veggies (orange and yellows) in the evenings. (Per your 4 month notes).
Dr: What about rice cereal?
Me: What about it?
Dr: Your suppose to be feeding her rice cereal, with veggies.
Me: Really?
Dr: Yes --
Me: Ok well I didn't know -- I thought once she was on orange/yellows that I didn't have to feed her rice cereal.
Dr: Nope.
Me: Well I guess then I'm the reason she is under weight.
Dr. Hmmm

OK my thoughts about that was I was following her nutrition notes exactly as she wrote them. Nothing mentioned about rice cereal and veggies.

Ok now Dr. told me to start giving her fruits.

She questioned why we hadn't done it before now. Well my daughter didn't seem ready for solids just yet. At 5 1/2 months she just started eating veggies. You told me to feed her those for a week, and then change the veggie to another kind, repeat. Well we have only made it to 3 orange/yellow veggies.

So now that I know that I am suppose to be giving her fruits/ cereal at breakfast (mid day), and cereal and veggies in the evening she might just pudgy up some more.

Dr. then also advised me to get her on 2ND foods -- and to feed her 3 times a day w/ 1-2 oz of water.
Wow --

As far as other stuff goes, she can roll over from front to back, and back to front. She follows a flashlight well (especially when we go and wake up daddy on the weekends and lay in bed w/ him -- we like that flash light game he plays).
She can sit upright w/o assistance (don't even try to help me she says -I'm a big girl).
She has started to sleep w/o being swaddled, well kinda, we are now using a sleep sack. I guess we are cheating too -one arm in one arm out. Hey it works so don't knock it, right?
We are starting to sleep until at least 5:45 OR 6:00ish. Yes!!
She laughs for 10 minutes when you play with the dogs toys. (Only 10 minutes - that's because Nikita only wants to play that long.

Well not more than that.

Happy 6 Months little girl...
