6-months old!

Makenna turned 6-months old on us in a blink of an eye. Her checkup showed that she only gained 11 oz from her 4-month checkup (yikes), so back we go in 6 weeks to check progress. Her length is good at 26" (50%) but her weight is around 15 percentile (12.11 oz). So one extra serving of cereal during the day will hopefully do the trick. Kelly was only 16 lbs at 1 year, so we'll just blame heredity.

Makenna has been battling a virus the past few days. Had a fever on Sunday, it died down at her Monday morning checkup so they decided to go ahead with her 6-month shots, but then it spiked shortly after, of course the shots didn't help matters. So she has been home from daycare all week. It was a nice few days off for me so I can't complain, :)   We think she is finally getting over the virus and should be good to go back to daycare on Thursday. Poor little thing! And a big thanks to the Grandma's for helping out on one of the days!!

On a happier note, I grabbed the high chair out of storage today and used it for the first time with Makenna. She absolutely loved it, and it sure was easier to feed her.

Before the mess...

Long view of her. Thought it was funny to see how tiny she looks in it...

 

Yummy!
