Big Girls Don't Cry...or Do They?

This morning Justin and I took Mary-Ross to her two month check-up and it was a great check-up. I made Justin go with me for moral support because our little angel had to get her first round of shots. I was not looking forward to it because when we took her to her first check-up and they did her PKU Mary-Ross and me were a little scarred. Ha Ha.

The Doctor gave little one a great report. He said she was very healthy and developing well. She is exactly where she should be for her age and doing things that older babies are doing according to her Doctor. We have been very anxious to see how much she weighs since she eats so much and the report was that she weighs a whopping 12 pounds 13 ounces. We have a chunky girl on our hands! She is in the 80th percentile for her weight! She is in the 80th percentile in her height as well. Since she eats so much already the Doctor said we will not be able to hold her off of baby food for much longer. He said he typically does not like to start babies on baby food until they are 6 months but since she weighs what most 3 to 4 months old weigh and eats 7 ounces every four hours during the day that she is requiring more than just a bottle. So we go back October 4th and we will start little girl on baby food that night. Let's just hope that a bottle can hold her for 2 more months. She sucks the bottle dry just about every feeding so he suggested for us to go up a 1/2 ounce but once we reach 8 ounces he said that will have to be enough because he does not like for babies to take more than 8 ounces in one feeding. Mary-Ross did very good with her shots. She only did her silent scream right when they stuck her and then her Daddy picked her up and she was fine. We could not believe it but we were so glad that she did not cry a lot because we would have not been able to handle that. She has been very sleepy today but has not really wanted to nap by herself in her room so her mother has spoiled her a bit today and held her while she sleeps. ;)

We are so blessed to have such a healthy happy baby and we can not be more thankful. God is good! :)

Until next time....
