2 Months Old

Yesterday Elizabeth had her 2-month doctor's appointment. She weighed in at 10 lb, 11 oz - which puts her right at the 50th percentile. She's 21 3/4 inches long - 25th percentile and her head (this is always a funny measurement I think) is 38 cm - also 25th percentile. She's doing all the things she's supposed to be doing by now - lifting her head up, rolling from her back to her side, tracking an object with her eyes, cooing and smiling. Basically she's a genius! She did get 2 vaccines - one by mouth and one shot. (We are following Dr. Sears' alternative vaccine schedule discussed in his book The Vaccine Book, so instead of getting 5 today, she got two and will have an extra appointment in a month to get 2 more.) The nurse told us some babies don't like the taste of the oral one but she did just fine. And she was such a trooper with the shot - her Daddy held her and she scrunched up her little face like she was going to get mad, but then she just let it go. Not a single cry! And she hasn't had much of a reaction at all from them - she was a little fussy last night before bedtime, but that's not her happiest time anyway and she never did get a fever. So all in all I say it was a successful day! Especially because Daddy got to stay home because of the ice storm! Here's a picture of Miss Elizabeth sporting her band-aid.
And here's another picture of the cute girl.


Last week, we did a four generation picture with my grandmother Mamie, my mom Mimi, me and Elizabeth. Elizabeth slept the whole time - but you get the idea.
