Doctor, Doctor


Went to the doctor this morning for Willow's 6 month check up. After the crazy nurses stumbling over each other, moving us all over the place and their lack of knowledge in how to weigh and measure a baby without making them cry while creating complete chaos...left, Willow was fine. She likes Dr. Mahmood or maybe it is her red stethoscope.

Length = 27.5 inches
Weight = 19.5 pounds
Based on the data, she falls into the following percentiles:
Length = between 90th and 95th percentile
Weight = between 90th and 95th percentile

Dr. Mahmood said she's doing great. Though her head circumference is a bit small on the growth chart and so she will watch that - she didn't seem too worried just made note of it. I try to do the same. I weigh on the worrisome side, as usual. Shocking, I know!

She recommended we start adding in other foods. (She's been getting cereal for a couple weeks now.) We haven't decided yet what the first taste will be... check back for updates.

She is perfectly beautiful. I think all moms worry about everything Drs say[it's a "Good Mom" thing].
I LOVE & MISS YOU ALL,Mom/Nana

Looking forward to hearing what she tries and then what she likes. I'm guessing she'll just be trying healthy stuff for a while and not get Reese's cups! ;-)

Love,
