Sixth month check up

We had our sixth month well-baby check up today and here are the results:

Weight: 22lbs (>97th percentile)
Height: 29 3/4 inches (>97th percentile)
Head circumference: 17 1/4 inches (between 75th and 95th percentile)
Just for measure purposes, Siri is now wearing size 12-18 month clothing, and weighs only two pounds less than our pediatrician's three-year-old. Yes, she is indeed a big girl (or big baby in general)

Siri's weight gain has slowed down from last month to this, which is apparently what happens commonly for breast-fed babies. She is eating solid foods like a pro now, loving her sweet potatoes and taking more than two tablespoons per setting (I know it doesn't seem like much, but we started out with a fingertip full each setting -- literally the amount equivalent to the tip of my finger since she used it as a spoon).

This has been a crazy week for the Pan Rosenberg household: I've had a bad cold since last Friday and am still recovering from it; Jeff started to get the cold, but I think has successfully fought it off; Siri seems to be getting the cold as she has been VERY fussy the past three days or so. She had a low fever the past couple of days (~98/99 degrees), but seems to be in much better spirits today despite getting two shots. She's also drooling a ton again, which may mean we could see another tooth emerge in the next couple of months.
