Beautiful Brooke: 6 Month Appointment

I'm a day late - but I wanted to be sure and update the world about our sixth-month sassy girl!

We packed up for the doctor's yesterday afternoon with Daddy!
Long story - short :
Brooke weighs 17 pounds, 2 ounces and measures 25 1/4 inches long! She gained exactly 2 pounds and grew exactly 1 inch in one month! (we were there on Feb. 17 for her RSV visit!)

Dr. Sheilah checked our girl out very thoroughly and really seemed to enjoy watching her sit up, play with her toys, and squeal and laugh! At one point, the nurses opened the door to our room so that they could listen to her extremely contagious giggle!
My favorite part about our doctor is that she honestly takes the time to listen to my concerns as a Mother. She answers all of our questions - no matter how crazy - and really wants us to feel confident as parents. She has taught me to trust my instincts and to RELAX! She assured me that I have a healthy, growing, beautiful daughter and that WE did that... Apparently, we're doing a bang-up job... It certainly doesn't hurt to hear that from your doctor!

Although Brooke doesn't particularly enjoy the shots, she handles them quite well! After 10 seconds of blood-curdling screams, she was giggling at her funny Daddy and ready to play again! I wish that would have been her temperament for the rest of the afternoon! She decided to scream for a few hours after we got home and start her own eating strike! She had zero food from 11:30 am until 6:00 pm! This child... I'm telling you!

After she slept off the shots and finally had some supper, Brooke was in much better spirits, so Mommy, Daddy, and baby joined Brandon, Amanda and the kids for an evening Burnham walk! Not much in this world beats a beautiful evening to walk while pushing your gorgeous child in a stroller! It seemed that everyone in the town was out walking so we were able to visit with some firehouse folk and other walkers! So fun! I think the fresh air did us all a world of good!

A few things to look forward to:
~Another walk with Daddy tonight!
~Stacie and Noah find out the gender of baby Miller tomorrow! YAY!
~Big Richard family party at Pap and Nana's this weekend for Great-Grandma Shirley!
~Aunt Meg and Josh will be coming to visit on Saturday!

Life is good! Hoping for warm weather wherever YOU are!
Enjoy a few pictures!
