Six Month Check Up...

My super sweet little Aubrie had her six month check up last Thursday. Poor little thing, she had to get four shots, ouch. She weighs 17 lbs and is 26" long. I can't believe how much she has grown! She is such a wonderful child and just melts my heart every time I look at her. I am so blessed to have such sweet, healthy children. As a WIC Nutritionist, I see so many Moms who have critically ill children. I have seen children with spina bifida, cerebral palsy, shunts, epilepsy, children who are HIV positive, on feeding tubes, children with diseases I haven't even heard of, I have to look up their condition just to understand it, children who are with foster parents because their parents are either in jail or didn't want them. Just the other day I counseled a Mom who's daughter wasn't even allowed to go out in public because of her sensitivity to germs. I CAN'T IMAGINE, I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE. I am so thankful for my job and my children. I don't take anything for granted. It is a miracle, it honestly is to have a healthy child. So, with all that said, if you are reading this and have a child, please give them a great big hug and kiss.
