We just got back from Avery's 6 month well check visit and her pediatrician said everything looks great. She weights in at 17lbs 5oz (although it feels more like 25lbs) and she is 27.5 inches long. Now, Avery has always been advanced and ahead of her milestones...but there's one advancement she's made that Im not too proud of...her attitude. Which she made perfectly evident of today at the doctors office! She was adorably chewing on Jesse's sweatshirt string (something she does often now that she's teething) very calm and content...being precious little Avery. Once the doctor layed her down on the table wanting to get a better look at her, causing the string to come out of her mouth, she turned into this spoiled rebellious 2 year old who was just told she couldn't have ice cream for breakfast!! High pitched screaming, kicking, turning over...the whole bit! The doctor said he had never seen this kind of behavior from a 6 month old before; usually just in older babies! How embarrassing is that!?
I don't know how she has developed such an attitude. Ok, maybe A LITTLE BIT was inherited from me, but mine was never this bad. We don't coddle her everytime she cries or screams but when she does we usually redirect her to something else. Which works a lot of the time. Now, we're just suppose to ignore it completely. We'll keep you updated :o{
She had two shots today and she took them like a champ. Only cried for about 10 seconds. She's strong willed and I think that's where her attitude stems from too. At 6 months she may throw a fit like a 2 year old but she can take the pain of shots like she was 10.
On a much happier note, Christmas just passed and Avery had a great 1st Christmas! She got so many cute clothes and toys thanks to our friends and family!
She also has two teeth now. I caught the first one but have yet to get a picture of the second one. Her teething is coming along great! Now that the first one has cut through, she could care less about the second one.
She's also started to get on all fours and wobble back and forth. She wants to move so bad but just can't get the actions down. I think she'll be crawling before we know it! Here's a video of her.
