6 months old!

Wow I just can't believe that it is her half birthday already! We went for her check up today and she is 20lbs and 28"long. She only gained 6-7ozs since her 4 month check up but she grew 2in. She is such a big girl. They wanted to give her 7 vaccines today but mama said no way and we settled for one oral and one shot. Why on earth do they think it is ok to give 7 vaccines at one time?! OUCH! That is just not right for a little baby. She will be going back every 4 weeks to get another shot till she is up to date. I'm so glad though that I don't have to fight her doctor, he totally agrees but has to offer what the AAP guidelines say. Some Pedi's just won't have it any other way. We love Dr. Hopkins, thanks to Becka for the recommendation.



Bob went with us to the doctor's office and thank goodness. I took Ridley with me and he was hungry and Abigail really just wanted her mama. She is quickly becoming a mama's girl. Last night I snuck out of the house to go to Wal-mart by myself and from Bob's account she cried most of the time I was gone and was looking for me. :( I'm glad that she loves me so much but it hurt daddy's feelings and I don't like leaving her when I know she will be upset. But mama needs some alone time. What to do, what to do?

Since she has now mastered the crawling and pulling up she is on to cruising. She is trying to walk along all of the furniture and we are quickly finding out what else we need to baby proof in the house.

In other news, we can now walk from laundry room into the garage. That might not seem so exciting to you but to me it is the greatest news ever! Since we moved into this house back in January we have had to walk around to the front door to get into the house instead of going through the garage. Why? you ask. Well my wonderful washer and dryer are too big for the tiny laundry room and we couldn't open the door to the garage because the dryer was in the way. Well yesterday we finally got around to stacking them up on one another and tah-dah we can open the door! I was asking my self yesterday why we haven't done this yet and was thinking we need another person to help us. Then I remembered, I'm not pregnant anymore. I can help Bob stack the dryer. Haha. Yes I know she is 6 months old but I just came to this realization.
