6 month pediatrician check-up

Okay, yesterdays visit to Dr. Koenig's was very interesting for little miss Haylee bug!
She weighed in at 17 lbs (75th %tile for weight) and was 26" long (65th %tile for height).
The doc was impressed on how well she sits up without toppling and her 1st tooth is coming in & we can know feel the tip of her tooth edge with our fingers. She is eating well and overall a very happy baby...

In addition to her 3 shots, Haylee broke out in a scaly, dry spotty, red dotty rash that has progressively gotten worse over the past 7 days. Dr. Koenig diagnosed it as Pityriasis Rosea....it is viral with no treatment other than if she starts itching to give her Benadryl. The course of this skin virus lasts from 6-10 weeks! At least she is keeping good spirits and the spots don't seem to irritate her...her face and body are just yucky looking with lots of red dots and scaly patches! Lots of kisses to our beautiful 6 month old daughter.
