Kaitlyn's Pictures & 6 Month Checkup

Kaitlyn did awesome today!! I was having a hard time putting her down for a nap this morning so I dressed her in some other clothes (not the ones for the pictures), packed her diaper bag and put her in the van. By the time we got to the mall, she was asleep (yay!!). She slept for a good 45 minutes and woke up 15 minutes before her photo appointment. She was all smiles and it was so hard choosing pictures because they were all so cute. Needless to say, I spent way too much (I had a bunch of enhancements done) but it was so worth it. I can't wait to share them when they're ready on December 6!

Kaitlyn's 6 month checkup went great too. She fell asleep just as we were leaving the house for the appointment and I thought, "oh no, she is going to be so miserable for the doctor!" This was her first time meeting her new doctor since our move to Chilliwack and I didn't want him to regret taking us as new patients. Well, she woke up as I was undressing her to have her weighed and smiled and smiled! The doctor and nurse called her the "happy smiley baby"! Everything checked out great! She is 16 lb 11 oz which puts her at 67 percentile, and is 26 1/2 inches long, which puts her at 75 percentile. Keeping in mind when she was born she was less than 50 percentile for weight, she is doing awesome. The doctor says she is totally healthy besides some definite signs of teething. We kind of figured that - she's been acting the same way before her first tooth showed up for the past 72 hours or so, although we can't pinpoint where the next one is going to break through.

We also picked up our Christmas photos. Here it is!
