Look who is 6 months!

Wow, already half a year has flown by since Haley was born! She had her 6 month checkup and she is doing great. She weighs 16.2 lbs (50-75%) and is 25 inches long(25-50%). She had 4 shots and did really good, only crying when they first stuck the needle in. By the time the nurse was done and I picked her up she was already done crying. I think she was more mad about being held down then the shots! The doctor did diagnose her with a mild case of torticollis in her neck. It appears she favors her left side, especially when she is tired, and he was a little concerned that if left untreated her neck muscles on her left side could become tight. So he gave us some exercises to start with at home to help stretch her muscles and we are likely going to send her to therapy as well. He also wants her to see a pediatric ophthalmologist to make sure her vision is ok because sometimes a vision problem can cause the neck problem. She has an appointment on Wednesday with the eye Dr. so we'll wait and see what they have to say.
On Wednesday Haley met her Uncle Brian for the first time since he was in town from California for a business trip. She has now met all her Uncles - she has 5! - and still no Aunts.

Haley and Uncle Brian


On Thursday Grandma Jean, Haley and I went up to Burleson to visit Great Aunt Jan and the Clifford clan (My cousins and kids). Haley had a good time watching Sarah and Abby, who are 6, and Tim, who is 11, play and run around. She loves to watch other kids and I think once Haley is a little older they will love having another playmate. At Great Aunt Jan's house Haley sat in a real highchair for the first time since we use a booster seat at home. She must have thought it was comfy...she feel asleep in the middle of eating her green beans!
