6 month pediatric visit

sophia now weighs 20 lbs & got the go ahead to start drinking water out of sippy cups. dr said that her drinking water & purées are more for her to practice more than getting nutrients. she said formula is still the main source for her nutrients. so still doing what we’ve been doing except not putting the oats in her bottles but instead giving it to her as oatmeal. so still 3 5oz bottles morning, afternoon and night. rest of the day 4 oz bottles   purées 2 times a day at morning and evening (4oz total). 

sophia’s dr is pregnant & said she’ll be out on baby girls 9 month appt but to not let anyone else get assigned to her 12 month visit cuz she said she has to see her then. she said she got teary eyed thinking about it. she loves sophia and i can imagine being her dr since birth makes it special to see her grow to a 1 year old. seeing the progress 😭 now i’m teary. but the cool thing is, we were assigned my childhood dr for her next visit. dr susan was my dr when i was 10 or so. she was always so nice to me. she was also my bro & sisters dr growing up. i wonder if she’ll recognize me. if not i’ll ask her if she remembers who i am. 

sophia screamed her head off during this visit. hated being checked, hated being weighed & obviously hated her shots. she was okay once again pretty quickly once i picked her up. we went shopping and then decided to take her to crawdaddy’s happy hour for lunch. we first sat at a normal table and we put her in the high chair and all was smiles. but in order to get happy hour you have to sit at the bar side. so we had to sit at the high top tables so sophia was way lower. that killed the vibe & she started to cry. the waitress was trying to be so nice to her. she got her a popsicle & tried feeding it to her but nah. sophia screamed her head off i felt so bad for the people at the bar trying to relax lol. so i held her in my lap while we ate. i think the shots side effects were kicking in and she was cranky. 

i put her in her crib tonight and i hope she stays asleep all night in it. i’ve been slacking and being too tired just letting her sleep in bed with us. but i need her to get comfortable in her own bed.  i dread tomorrow being stuck here again. just when i got my car situated to start taking her places alone my bro started his job and is using it. it’s so hard on solo days in here. hate it.
