Alexis's 6 month check up

Alexis is a big girl!

weight- 18 lbs 7 oz. (90-97th percentile)
length- 28 3/4" (above the 97th percentile)
head- forget the exact measurement, but it was above the 97th percentile

The dr. said she was as tall as the average 12 month old! :-o She also said that Alexis was perfect, besides not wanting to support herself standing up. So I have to work with her on that. But she said that she wasn't worried because she's perfect besides that.
I asked how often she should be eating and the dr. said not to worry too much about that until 9 months. So I'm sticking with 1 meal a day for a little while :) She said formula was still the main source of nutrition until 9 months, so that's good!
I was also told that we needed to switch out our carseat... :(( Alexis is getting so big!

Other updates- Alexis had a lot of fun on the cruise, she played on the beach and got lots of attention from everybody on the ship. She can almost sit up by herself now and is rolling all the time both ways. She LOVES the dogs and cats... it's funny to watch her interact with them.
Her next doctor's appointment is in April (9 month check up) and she doesn't have to get any shots then! woohoo! Her next set of shots isn't until her 12 month check up :)
