I am a 1/2 year old

Last Monday (11/17/08) Mommy took me to my 6-month doctor's appointment.  I weigh 18 pounds 13 ounces and am 27 1/2" tall (95%).  My head is 16 3/4" around (50%).  The doctor examined me and told me that I am a very strong girl.  He bent my legs to check my hips and I pushed him right back.  He laughed and called me 'thunder thighs' because my legs are big and strong.  I watched him very intently through out the whole exam.  He told me at one point that I am so engaging that he forgets what he is doing and what he needs to do next.  He was happy that I haven't started getting stranger anxiety yet because he was able to enjoy holding me for a little while.   He checked my mouth and said that he didn't see any signs of teeth yet.  That made mommy happy.  She's not ready for me to have teeth yet.  

I did really well when the nurse came in to give me my shots.  I barely cried.  I got four shots and she gave me three Band-Aids.  They had roadrunner on them this time.  I pulled them off all my myself when mommy changed my diaper later in the day.  

My next appointment will be when I am nine months old.
