Noelle had her 6th month appointment this week. She is doing so good. She weighed in at 15lbs 8oz and is 25 1/2 inches long. Here were the percentiles:
Weight: 34%
Length: 42%
Head cir: 88%
Head cir: 88%
It's so hard to imagine her as a 2lb 15oz, 16 inch long baby. She is doing so well and has been so healthy this winter. We're so grateful for that. Especially as I have just gotten over a cold and the flu. Someone is really watching over her.
On another note we started Noelle on cereal this week. Since she is a preemie the doctor told us to wait until she was 6 months instead of 4. We thought she was ready earlier but we listened. The first couple of tries were interesting. But after that she really seemed to like it. Her sleeping has been crazy lately. Before we started the cereal she would wake up every 3-4 hours again to eat. Her bottle would just not last her throughout the night, she would get too hungry. The doctor told us to put in 1 tsp of cereal to every 2 oz of formula. We tried this last night and she slept almost 8 hours straight. It was wonderful. I'm hoping this will be an every night thing. I'm happy she's on the cereal and I think she is too!
