6 Month Checkup

This week, Lucy had her 6-month checkup at the doctors.  For those who didn't hear by now, Daddy had to get surgery on his arm last Friday.  Everything went well, but obviously he can't use his arm for a while.  With Mommy needing to be at work,  Daddy asked our friend Anthony if he could help him take Lucy to the Doctor. 

 This is before they left.  We really are SOOOO thankful for Anthony as he has helped us out a ton!  I really wished I could have been there in the Doctors office.  We told Anthony it would be good practice for him, though, because him and his wife our having a baby in January!  Here's to two men and a baby :)
 Daddy and Anthony said Lucy did awesome at the doctors and did so well when she got her shots.  I know its silly, but I was worried because everyone keeps telling us (even random people on the street as we take walks) that Lucy is a huge baby--"Wow--that's a really BIG baby".  Apparently, though, she is only in the 50% in weight, and 60% in height.  She does have a big head though and always has (80%). Even if she was in the much higher percentile, I would still love her (and her squishy body :)) the same
 After we got home at night, we are always worried about how she'll do later with the shots.  She was one happy clam.  She sat on the floor with Daddy and played so hard

  1. She is not a big baby! I think people just think she is because her eyes are so big (and gorgeous!)!!

  2. I agree with anna. She is beautiful and perfect. I think everyone imagines babies in there head to be so small so they actually see a baby and think WOW thats a big baby. Micah is almost in the 90% for height and weight but his head is in the %30 haha... I cant imagine how small his head would be without his cheeks!
