6 Month Checkup

Macie had her 6 month check up today. She had two shots and did really well. She seems to cry less and less every time. We also talked to the Dr. about her "lazy eye". Her right eye seems to turn in a little when she is tired. I developed Esotropia when I was two, and it is hereditary so we are concerned that she may have it. Mine was corrected with glasses/contacts until I was able to have surgery when I turned 18. They now have other ways to "train" the eye and strengthen the muscle. We were referred to a Pediatric Opthamologist so we'll be taking her there soon.

Here's her stats:

Weight: 18.0 lbs (83rd percentile)
Height: 26 inches (56th percentile)
Head: 17 3/4 inches (97% percentile) She is growing into her head and leveling off so the Dr. said that is good.

He said she is doing great and told us we can start her on finger foods (Puffs, cheerios, teething biscuits, etc.) if we would like. We got some of the puffs and gave her one, but she just made a funny face and spit it out.

Can't tell you how proud we are that Macie is "growing into her head!!!" Way to go, Macie Face!
