A Healthy Baby Girl!

Ellie had her 2 month check-up yesterday. She now weighs 11 pounds 8 ounces and is 24 inches long! Craziness! She's in the 70th percentile for weight and the 95th percentile for height! It looks like Dave is going to get his wish. He's always told me he married me so he could get tall kiddos. Nice, huh? There aren't many milestones to hit this early on, but she is doing what she should-responding to voices, smiling, following objects, lifting her head while on her belly, etc... The sad part was her getting 5 shots...that's right, not a typo...5 shots! Two in the left left leg, one in the right leg, and one in each arm, plus an oral vaccine. Poor baby. She didn't feel good at all last night. She slept most of the day (on me) and then slept all night. I had to wake her after 9 hours to eat. Hopefully, today she is feeling a bit better.

On a happier note, Ellie did have one good moment last night. Being the teacher that I am, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Ellie enjoys being read to so much!

  1. SO glad Ellie is a healthy baby (had no doubts!!!) The video says that I need to accept a friend request in order to see it. Any chance you know how to send out friend requests? :)

  2. Try it now :) I've had such issues with these videos lately, so I decided to start putting them in YouTube and embedding them. I guess I had them set to private. You should be able to see them now.
