Hadley had her six-month doctors appointment today. Here are her stats from the appt:

Height: 26 3/4″ (85th percentile)
Weight: 18 lbs 11.5 oz (95th percentile)
Head: 42.8 cm (60th percentile)

Hadley had the same shots as her last appointment but this time she took them like a champ. She didn’t even notice the first one, glared at me for the second one, and fussed for all of three seconds for the third and final shot. Overall, she was a super trooper.

The big news from Hadley’s appointment today is she can now start solid food. I have mixed feelings about this milestone. Sure it’s a great photo opp, and Ana has been looking forward to this since Hadley was in the womb but I’m just not a fan of the baby food stage. It’s messy. Every meal requires an outfit change (sometime for both of us). It’s less convenient for eating out. I have get my butt in gear and start stocking my freezer with homemade organic baby food. But don’t worry. I plan to suck it up, put my OCD issues aside, and make this a fun experience for the entire family. So tonight, Hadley will have her very first solid food. (Check back later for photos and possibly even video.)

All in all, we have one happy, healthy little girl. Yeah!
