Brooke had her "6 month" well check a few weeks ago. It was a little late (she was technically 7 months and 1 week old when she went in for her appointment), but she is finally all caught up. She handled her shots like a champ, she yelled/screamed more than cried, but only when they jabbed her and then she was fine.
As for her measurements, to put it in the words of her doctor, "she is just huge." Thanks doc. It seems we have a chunky chunk after all! Brooke weighed in at 22 lbs 13 oz, and was 29 1/2 inches long, putting her well above the 100th percentile. Her pee wee head is still only in the 70th percentile at 17 1/4 inches. I swear it looks bigger than that though! Must be those fat cheekers!
In comparison with her brother at this age, she is currently 2 lbs and 13 oz heavier, and 1/2 an inch longer. Wow. No wonder I feel like I am nursing all day long and feeding her enough solids to fill a grown man. This girl is an eater! Now to be fair to Austin, I didn't start feeding him solids until he was 6 months old, so Brooke has had a month and a half on him, but still, she is a big girl! We just love it though, all the more to kiss...keep it up Brookie, you are going to need it now that you are moving all over the place (the doctor assured me now that you are crawling, your weight gain will slow down, that is good news, my left arm could use a break!!)
Our big girl!
All happy after her shots, and possibly trying to grab for the camera to eat it!!
Here's Austin right after his 6 month shots, measuring in at 20 lbs and 29 inches long.
