Thanks Gram!

Stand Up! Sit Down! Yell a Little Louder!
Jenna has started to pull up to standing from the sitting position. She's still too wobbly and not strong enough to really stand, but she's doing it. She first did it today with Nana, who sat her in the crib to play while she picked out her outfit. Then this afternoon while I was putting clothes away she did the same thing! Time to move that mattress down!
I think that she may be getting more teeth - although I've thought it for a couple weeks now. The last few days she's been gnawing on her finger and today she took a 2 hour nap in the morning and this afternoon she has been asleep for well over 3 hours! When she got the first two teeth she was extremely tired.

Correction
I noticed this morning that I read her chart wrong! She is in the 75th percentile for weight and 90th for head circumference!
We had a great morning - Jenna slept until 9! Wow! She probably would have slept longer, but I checked on her and she heard the door and woke up. Since she had a reaction to her first set of vaccines, they have us give her Benedryl to help protect against another reaction. I guess it really zonked her out!

6 Month Check-up
We visited the doctor today for Jenna's 6 month checkup. It went well! Our petite baby is no more. She is 17lbs and 4 oz and 26.5" long! That's 90th percentile for weight and 75th for height.
The doctor said to start offering her 3 meals a day and offer water to her with the meals. He said he doesn't advise against giving her juice, but to stick with water if she will take it because the juice can be empty calories that she does not need. He said that within the next month or two she will stop drinking as much formula. We've already noticed that she seems to be waiting a little longer between bottles and she isn't even having too much solids food yet, so I suspect she may start drinking less before then.
She only had to have one shot today, BUT we have to go back because they were out of 2 vaccines (one oral and one shot). :( On one hand I'm glad because I'm not entirely comfortable with her having so many vaccines at once, but I also don't like that she'll have to go through pain twice when it could have just been once. She started screaming as soon as they poked her. We got the nurse that isn't as experienced with pediatrics and thus not quite as good at giving shots (she's still pretty good, just not as quick). As soon as I could pick her up I did and gave her the pacifier and she calmed right down. Phew! I know that it really helps her for me to stay calm, so I try really hard not to let it show that it makes me sad for her to get the shot and it seems to help.
We aren't going back for another checkup until her 12 month checkup! I think that we're going to try to find a pediatrician near where we live. We like our current doctor, but there have been a few things at the office that have been frustrating and in a lot of ways I think that we may be missing out by not taking her to doctor specialized in childcare. So, if anyone has a reccomendation for a ped in the Olathe area, let me know!
After the appointment as a treat we stopped by some friends in Spring Hill - our old neighbors. Dallas and Maddison had so much fun with Jenna and she with them. They haven't seen her since March and she has grown so much since then! She loved both of them. She kept staring at Dallas and got really excited when he was holding her. She loved Maddison's hair and would grab it and laugh if it touched her face.
This pic is a couple weeks old, but so cute!
