Checking in with Dr. T

Sammy Jo had her 6 month check up with Dr. Triantos today, though she is officially 6 months and 4 days old.  All in all, the check up was good, and Dr. T agreed that the first 6 months have been quite a wild ride for our little family.  He declared her the "picture of health" with the exception of her poor little kidney, and we hope to have her test scheduled before the end of the week. 

Sam did really well with the check up and he (the dr.) even said that after what she had been through in the hospital, he was shocked that she was letting him poke and prod her for today's visit.  Apparently, the test that they will be doing to determine whether or not Sam has reflux is pretty unpleasant, and I'm trying not to think about it right now.  At the end of the visit, she braved 2 shots and was less than thrilled when they stuck her with the needles.  Fortunately, I was able to take her home right after and with a little bit of Tylenol and an afternoon nap, all in Samantha's world was much better.

Samantha's 6 Month Stats:

Height: 26.5 inches

Weight: 16 lbs

Head Circumference: 43.25 cm

And of course, some 6 month pictures!  I'm planning on taking her this Friday to have some pictures taken, so stay tuned for more!

The reindeer sings, dances and lights up and Samantha LOVES him.  He was a gift from the Perez family during her hospital stay.

And this last one was taken at the doctor's office from my phone.  She was so happy...before the shots...
