Oh P.S!

I realized that I forgot to update ya'll about Lynlee's last appointment. We took her in last Wednesday for the six month-er (I'm still convinced we only brought her home a week or two ago).
She was all smiles until the doctor came in, then once she realized that he wanted to talk to her and be around her she began talking to him and smiling all big again, showing off her two bottom teeth (she's such a little ham! Totally her mommy's girl hehe).
She sat up for her entire checkup (except the part where he had to make her lie down to feel her tummy). This seemed pretty normal to us since she's been sitting up really well since the beginning of this month but I guess her doc was impressed. He said that he's usually satisfied if a baby comes in for their six month checkup and can sit for a few seconds before wobbling and toppling over. Woohoo, go girl!
Lynlee has broken 13 lbs (she just barely has doubled her birth weight - finally!) and that puts her in the 9th percentile instead of the 3rd, which is where she was when we last took her in with our concerns about her lack of weight gain. She's 25 inches long, so tall and skinny. No chub rolls for her! Kind of a bummer because I think those baby chub rolls are so adorable but there's hope that a future kiddo of ours will have plenty of 'em. And in the meantime, she's so incredibly adorable anyways that I'm really not too worried about it.
She was so good with her shots! Daddy danced around and distracted her for the most part. It was kind of sad because she was in the middle of the biggest smile when they poked her the first time. There were 3 total that she got and she only started crying after the second one went in. Daddy scooped her up after the third and within seconds the tears had stopped and the smiles returned a bit. When we were getting her into the car a few minutes after that she was very intently looking at the band-aids on her legs and trying to pick them up. It always amazes me to see her do something new.
Lynlee really is such a good little girl! We sure love her. Although she's growing up waaaayy too fast for my liking, it's so fun to get in giggle fits with her now and see her own personality start to show.
Not as smiley here - this is after we got home and she was ready for a nap.

  1. Sweet little Lynlee. Just perfect the way she is :) I can't believe she is almost 6 months though!
