Brooke is 6 months old today, and guess what that means? A trip to the doctor! Brooke did fine and dandy until the nurse came in and gave her an oral vaccine and three shots. I don't know who cried more, Brooke or her Mommy :( Brooke is now peacefully sleeping it off and will hopefully forget the whole ordeal took place, that is, until we go back again in 3 more months.Weight:19 lbs 11 oz
Height:27.25 inches
The picture was taken this morning ... she had no clue what was in store for her just a few hours later
We have a great book that gives us ideas of the milestones Brooke can (and may possibly) reach at each month, What to Expect the First Year. According to the book, at 6 months Brooke... should be able to
