6 Months Old and a Pediatrician Visit

Anni is 6 months old today! Dr. Boehm says she's very healthy. She weighs 14.8 lbs and is 25.5 inches long. She at the 25th percentile for weight and 50th for height and head size. She did pretty well with her shots. She only cried for a few seconds, then fussed for about 5 minutes, and then fell asleep and slept for about an hour. Now she's just feverish and tired. Poor little angel.

She's ready to move on to 2nd foods. They're just bigger portions and mixes instead of single foods. She's can also have pureed meats and a wider variety of fruits and veggies.
Today was strawberries and bananas. She liked it quite a bit, but couldn't quite finish all 4 ounces. Could be she was full from the stuffed puppy she tried to eat beforehand.

She loves blowing raspberries and spit bubbles. She's also paying more attention to what we're doing. She has no interest in my cell phone until I pick it up and start to do something with it, then she'll focus all of her attention on trying to take it from me. She reaches for things that she wants and getting more inflection in her noises. It could be that I'm just more aware of them, but it seems like it's easier to distinguish hungry, angry, tired, and bored noises. Hurt is a very easy one to pick out, thankfully, I hear that noise pretty rarely.

The doctor also said that now is the time to start weening her off the pacifier. I'm going to wait until early next week when she's feeling better to really start. It just doesn't seem wise to take away something that's comforting when she doesn't feel good.
