Wednesday night Josh had both of his baby girls laying with him. Izzy is pretty immune to Avery now. She will lay with her if Avery is with one of us. I hope they will be best friends as Avery grows.
Thursday morning was Avery's 2 month check-up. We all got up bright and early, and were at the doctors office at 9am (which is a feat in itself!). They put her on the scale and baby girl is 13#6oz!! That is the 97th percentile for her age. She is 23 1/2 inches long which is the 90th percentile.
What a difference two months make! This picture is from her check-up at 4 days old. She has filled out so much!
Daddy kept her warm before the doctor got in there.
The pediatrician came in and checked her out. He said she does have a small umbilical hernia. They usually don't do anything about it until 2 years old, he also said it may close up on its own. Its so small though that there is no danger of her bowel slipping through it or anything. He gave us the OK to pierce her ears, so we will be doing that soon. He said she seems like a very docile baby and looks great. Avery even flashed him her beautiful smile. After her check-up it was time for shots. :( She loved the rotavirus vaccine, and was rooting for more when she drank it all.
She wasn't sure what was going on during the first shot.
But was NOT very happy after the last two.
She was fine though, after we dressed and cuddled her a little bit. Then she decided she was hungry and got fussy again. All in all it wasn't as traumatizing as I feared. I was in tears before we left the house for her appointment thinking about them sticking needles in her chubby little thighs. I fed her when we got home and she crashed for almost 4 hours.
Poor girl had a rough day!
After her nap, she woke up in the Best mood. So I got some cute girl pictures.
Hey mom!
Look at them eyes.
I love this picture.
Like I said, two month shots, not too bad. She hasn't had any fever and hasn't even been fussy or anything. I have been gentle with her legs, but she hasn't even acted like it hurts where they did the injection. I am so proud of my chunky monkey!
