Survived the 6 month shots!

Friday, I took Madison in for her 6 month well baby. She cried when the nurse looked at her. I guess she knew what was coming. She gained 2 lbs and is now 15 1/2 lbs! She is also 1 3/4 inches taller and is now 26 3/4 inches. I have quite a tall baby. She is in the 95 percentile for height but only 50 percentile for weight. She got her normal 6 month vaccines plus her flu shot. She did not like them at all, but settled down pretty quick after getting them. Doctor said she was a pretty healthy baby.

We went home right after and baby girl went down for a nap. She woke up 2 hours later totally happy! What a change from after her 4 month shots! She only cried when I accidently touched her thigh (where shot got her shots) when we were playing and I was tickling her. Later that night a fever showed its ugly head. It was never over 101, but we gave her some tylenol and put her to bed. She woke up in the morning with no fever, but it showed up again Saturday afternoon and we gave her another dose of tylenol. She has been fine ever since.

We have to go back for a flu booster in the beginning of January. After that we don't go back until she's almost 9 months, but no shots at that one!
