Cupcakes' six-month wellness check up

Cupcakes had her six-month wellness check up, and she's doing well. She measured 27" (85 percentile up from 70 percentile at four months) and weighed 15 pounds 5 oz (50 percentile still). Her head was 6 percentile (down from 7 percentile). Dr. Spector measured Mama's head and attributed Cupcakes' small head to Mama's genes. Cupcakes has not been eating much during her 10 hours at daycare. She has had as little as 1 oz and as much as 9 oz over the last month. Mama was ecstatic that Cupcakes has been growing well, especially since daycare has not been happy with her for not having started Cupcakes on solids yet. (Mama concluded that Cupcakes has been catching up with her feedings in the middle of the night.) Dr. Spector was pleased with Mama for having taken good care of Cupcakes.

We didn't have a good picture of Cupcakes before the doctor came in. The bubble book stays in the diaper bag, and Cupcakes was biting on it when Mama took the picture.
