Norah 6 mo check

Dude and Norah had their appointments back to back.  She was good as usual... weighed in at 21 lbs 13 oz, 2 ft 2 inches and 40 cm dome.  Big happy girl!  She unfortunately scratches herself until it hurts and I didn't know what to do about it.  She does it mostly to her poor left ear (we've joked about putting the cone of shame on her to make sure she doesn't scratch/rip it off) and to her right leg roll.  The Dr gave us a cream to put on her leg because it looked like a combo of eczema and a little yeast infection so hopefully that will clear it up soon!

Sweet girly had to get three shots too... so when it was time for that Lucy and I just walked the hallways.  Duder had to get his shots first and we definitely heard him, and then Norah had hers.  They both did well, and calmed down fairly quickly after the fact.  We did have a bit of an interesting fiasco once we got there... I had packed the diaper bag and refilled the spray but forgot to pack the cloth wipes.  I was hoping that we weren't going to need them, but of course, as soon as we got there she had pooped so defeated yet another diaper!  Luckily the office had some wipes they let me have so I could fix the situation but murphy's law... don't pack wipes, gonna need half a box!  haha.

Sweet Norah signing 'milk'

She is growing well and is still ever so sweet.  She gets up like she is going to bear crawl and even gets herself into the sitting position from on her belly.  She is so intensely strong... and can sign milk!  Smart girl!  She sees things that she wants now and tries to grab or scoot towards them to get it.  :)
