Yesterday we took Abigail to her doctor appointment. All is good, doctor is happy with how she is growing and developing. Below are her stats:
Height: 22.25 inches (48.25 percentile)
Weight: 11 lb 11 oz (75.46 percentile)
Head Circumference: 38.7 cm (51.79 percentile)
Overall, very average/normal sized little girl! Doctor is very happy that she is eating well, holding her head up more and more, "talking" and following things with her eyes. Of course since this was her two month checkup, she was due for 3 shots and an oral vaccine. She did great with the oral vaccine and then came the shots - jeeze, that is a hard thing for parents to watch! I didn't cry, but I sure could have. Matt and I have NEVER heard her scream/cry that loud before! Matt held her right after they were done and calmed her down - it didn't take long, but we sure felt bad for her. We were unsure of how she would be after the shots - she did great until about 1:30 pm and then she started crying very loudly and being very unsettled. After a dose of Tylenol, she was back to her normal self - thank goodness. Last night sleeping went about as normal as it has been - which was a nice surprise!
This morning, Abigail woke up full of smiles and noises! I just love getting her out of her crib in the morning - makes my day great right from the start!! So far she has been her normal self, smiling and talking! I am very happy she didn't have much of a reaction to her shots!!
So here are some of the "highlights" of our little girl:
-She loves to sit up and look at things in the room or out the window
-She still feels the need to hold her own head up as much as possible, she is getting better at it every day
-She LOVES to watch Koda move around the house
-She loves to go for walks in her stroller at the park (or anywhere)
-She eats like a champion (takes after her mom!)
-She burps like a man (or her mom!)
-She sleeps great in her crib, only getting up once a night to eat and be changed (sleeps 5-6 hours at a time at night)
-She takes a bottle of breast milk without issue/concern
-Has rolled over during tummy time
-Loves to talk about anything and everything all the time
-Gets excited to see us when we come back into the room
-Loves to stick our her tongue
Matt and I have loved every second of being parents - we laugh so much with her! She truly is such a joy in our lives and we really can't imagine life without her.
I have started back to work part time from home this week - it has worked out great so far. I work while she sleeps and by doing this, I get to stay home with her for another 8 weeks! I am thrilled about staying home as long as possible with her, so I was pretty much willing to do whatever it took! Matt has been working like normal at school and doing some work in the basement at night. I think he is looking forward to his leave when he can spend the days with Abigail and get a break from teaching for a few weeks. I must say that our Abigail Rory is one lucky little girl to have her parents home with her for such a long time - we love the opportunity too!
So, to finish off this post, here are some pictures I took today (2 months old) of our sweet little girl. Hope you all have a great rest of the week!!
