6 Month Check-Up

Took Syd to the doctor on Wednesday for her 6 month check-up. Syd has been gaining skills by the day. She can now roll over on to her belly and roll back both ways, reaches for items, can pass items from one hand to another, babbles uncontrollably, and working on sitting up on her own.
The doctor says she looks great. She is VERY aware of her surroundings and very social. So much so that she started crying with the doctor. This may not seem odd to most, but Syd has been crying more often with people she knows but doesn't see often, like the grandpa's. The doctor says that Syd being this aware of who she is with, or as we say stranger danger, is closer to a 9 month skill. I guess that is a good thing.
Syd also got her 6 month shots. They went fine and she did not get sick after, which was great! The entire appointment went well. We found out that Syd weighs 15.6 lbs. (45%) and is 26.7 inches long (80%). This means that she is extra long and average weight for her age. To us, this just means that all of her 6 month jammies are going to get too small very quickly : )
We did however get one bit of startling news about Syd...she has a heart murmur. Heart murmurs are very common in babies, but we were a little surprised because she was not born with one and with all the other appointments that we have gone in for, they have never found it before. Due to the deep sound it is sending out, they scheduled us for an Eco at River Bend on Monday. Hopefully we will learn more about what is going on and find out that everything will be ok. Wish us luck!
