Two Month Checkup

Today Blythe turned 8 weeks old! She did really well at her visit. Last time she screamed the entire time. You could definitely tell she was mad at me when the nurse gave her two shots. She looked directly at me and screamed. She didn't continue crying though, she just wanted to let me know how angry she was.

I can't believe how quickly time has gone by. This week she has begun sleeping for 5 hour stretches every night. Technically that is considered 'sleeping through the night.' Whoever came up with that definition must not have been the one waking up to feed their baby after 5 hours!

So far she has been very calm and relaxed the rest of the day. Of course that could be a result of the Tylenol I gave her ;-) We are spreading out her vaccines to minimize her exposure to everything all at one time so we get to go back to the doctor every month for the next 9 months. If she gives me that look every time they give her a shot I might develop a complex!

So far, here are her stats:

Birth: 3/4/08
Weight: 7 lbs (32nd percentile)
Height: 19 inches (38th percentile)
Head: ?

Two Weeks: 3/18/08
Weight: 7 lbs 9.5 oz
Height: 20 1/4 inches
Head: 14 1/4 inches

Two Months: 4/29/08
Weight: 10 lbs 8 oz (43rd percentile)
Height: 22 1/2 inches (67th percentile)
Head: 15 1/2 inches

The doctor said she is well on her way to doubling her birth weight before 6 months! She also has really good head control even though she hates when we lay her on her belly. We'll have to let her cousin Calleigh teach her to crawl when she comes in July since she doesn't want to try yet. Until then, she'll just keep looking at her beautiful self in the mirror when she has tummy time!
