Clara's Six-Month Check-Up

The results from the six-month weigh-in are in! She's long and lean!: 16 pounds, 6 ounces (57%); 26 1/2" (76%). That's only about a pound and an inch gain over the four-month figures, but Dr. H said she wasn't concerned given the extent to which Clara is moving around. Clara showed off her skills in this regard by fighting to army crawl down the exam table throughout the entire exam. She was pronounced in perfect health (oh except for the touch of pink eye she had) and as a reward, got all the shots for which she was due.

Joe came with us so he could get the flu vaccine. He was in his Yoda costume and spent the time playing with the yogurt cups we grabbed form the car, tucking himself into a Joe-sized corner, clambering up the chair to the exam table, and trying to turn off the lights. He was successful about halfway through Clara's exam. We think he was surprised at how dark it was!
