6 Month Check-Up

Lydia had her six month old doctor check up yesterday. She weighs 16 pounds and 7.5 ounces and she is 26 and 1/2 inches long. She is in the 75th percentile for her weight and the 90th percentile for her height. The doctor said that she can start eating solid foods now and recommended that we give her some biscuits. She seemed to really enjoy them.
Lydia doesn't take a bottle so we asked for some suggestions on how to get her to take a bottle and the doctor suggested we use Diet Coke. My parents were pretty excited because I had been fighting them off about giving her some. The doctor said Mountain Dew would be okay though. Lydia got two shots yesterday but she did great with them. She loved sitting on the exam table and kicking her legs and moving her arms because it made the paper covering rattle and make noise. She is such a happy baby!
