Shots and Soccer

Serena had her six month appointment yesterday. She is 17.5 pounds (75th percentile), 27.5 inches (95th percentile) and her head is 16.5 (25th percentile). I think she is evening out to be tall and thin (with a small head) just like her big sister. The doctor said she was "perfect" and couldn't believe she is crawling already. She also had to get shots of course, four of them and the oral vaccine, which she hates. Luckily this was the last time she has to be stuck so much at once; next appointment there is just one or two shots. And of course, the flu shot if I decide to get that. I don't know yet though since she just stays home with me.

Anyway, Calli also had her soccer pictures yesterday. She hasn't been to a practice yet because of her broken arm, but since she is going to start soon we, of course, wanted to let her be a part of the pictures. She got to meet all her little teamates, dressed in their purple jersies and named the Butterflies. Calli couldn't wait to get her jersey and purple socks on as well. It was a few sizes too big and seeing her in that jersey next to other kids her age, I realize how skinny she is. I would say that maybe I need to feed her more, but she is constantly eating it feels like. So they had a team picture and individual ones taken and that was pretty much it. Calli gets her cast off on Friday and we are hoping she will be able to play in the game on Saturday. But if not she will start her first practice on Monday. We have to find a soccer store to purchase her some black shorts, shinguards and a new soccer ball. The challenge will be finding a place that carries sizes small enough to hang on her skinny hips.

Well wouldn't you know our camera is broken?? And right before Halloween and all the fun things we are planning on doing. So I have no pictures to share at the moment :(.
