8 months old

Babyanna turns 8 months old today. I took her to the doctor for her well-baby checkup. The poor little girl had to get 4 shots. She wasn’t too happy. She also cried at the doctor, who was not only new to us (our regular doctors are on vacation) but was also a man and she is scared of most men right now. The doctor was really good about it; he was very patient and talked to her very sweetly. He also let her hold and touch the stethoscope and the ear thingy, which Adrianna liked. She is so inquisitive.

Adrianna is 29 inches long, which places her in the 98th percentile. The doctor asked if her daddy is tall, which at almost 6 feet 5 inches, he very much is. She weighs 18 lbs, 11 ounces, which places her in the 58th percentile. She was in the 90th percentile for weight just two months ago, but the doctor said not to worry. Now that she is more active, she is just burning more calories and that she is perfectly healthy.
