The hub took Britton to her doctor's appointment for her 6 month check-up. Yes, I begged the hub to take pictures, and he obliged. When Britton saw the nurse pull out those needles again for her shots, I can only imagine the curse words going through her head. It's only inevitable since the hub and I talk in a way that would make sailors blush. Luckily I was not there to witness the torture, but I also wasn't there to be the one to comfort her, which was hard. I've still got another 2 months with no time off, so we're juggling appointments and such as best we can. Now that Britton is 6 months old she gets Motrin to deal with her teething pain. And I packed a big bag of baby food for daycare so that she can start eating lunch, instead of just drinking bottles all day.

Some stats: she is 17 pounds, 15 ounces (75th-90th percentile); 27 inches long (75th-90th percentile) and her ear drums are completely clear, so no need for tubes (yet). She can roll over and can grab for items she wants. At night we do "naked time" where Britton gets to roll around on the floor sans clothes. It helps with development as she feels things she wouldn't normally. It is during this time that she is endlessly fascinated by her feet, and when placed on her tummy she makes crawling motions.

And she apparently loves spinach and potatoes, and peaches, as evidenced at tonight's dinner (and you can see her cute flower band-aids)...
