2 month well-check

Today was Keelyn's 2 month well check. The appointment started off GREAT! She had a TON of fun kicking the paper on the bench... and kept getting it stuck between her legs. As my kids at school would say, "Goofball!"




Then the nurse took all her measurements. Here are her stats:


* Height--23" and in the 75th percentile**

* Weight--12 lb. 8 oz and in the 90th percentile {what can I say, she takes after her Mama on liking food :)}

* Head Circumference--15.75" and in the 50th percentile


**Side note: Our nurse lays Keelyn on the paper, stretches her foot out and makes a mark with her pen at the end of it, then makes a mark on the paper around her head. This is her way of measuring. At the end of the appointment I tore the paper off the bench. Am I weird? No. Sentimental? Yes.


We had LOTS of fun taking pictures, playing, and talking when the nurse left.


and Love is all I have for her.





The doc came in then and said he was VERY impressed with her head control. That's right Keelyn, kiss your brain :). We go back on December 8th for her 4 month well-check where he said we'd start talking cereal and baby food. Holy cow! She's growing so fast!!!


Next came the dreaded shots :(. 3 in all... 2 in the left leg and one in the right, plus the not-so-tasty rotavirus vaccine that she got to drink.


To help calm her down, I gave her a bottle and she went to sleep as soon as we got in the van. Luckily, she is still *knock on wood* sleeping.

Notice... her face is still red from her screaming and crying. Poor peanut :*(


Pretty sure that watching my daughter cry in pain is more painful that labor. Ugh... and to think I have to watch her go through that again, and again, and again?
