She's Perfect - 2 Month Wellness Check

We've been anxious to get Evie in to see Dr. Mumford for her 2-month Wellness Check.  We wanted to see what her actual weight and height progress was, as well as ask the doctor some simple questions.  Beau was able to make arrangements at work so he could be to the appointment with us.  He loves to be with his girls and he didn't want to miss this!

As you can see, Evie now weighs 12 pounds, 4 ounces.

That puts her in the 55.68 percentile.  I'm not going to lie, Beau and I thought she would be off the charts, but she is pretty darn close to average.  What a healthy, little girl!

Her length is now 23.5 inches and she's a bit higher on the charts here.  This lands her in the 73.71 percentile.  She's got some long legs and she loves to kick them!

They also measure her head and she's in the 46.88 percentile there.  (You might find it odd, but people often give us compliments on her head shape.  We hear about how beautiful her head is.)

So, in summary, Evie is growing perfectly.  It's one thing for us to say she's perfect, but so did the doctor.  Thus, it's TOTALLY true!  No questions asked!  In fact, Dr. Mumford said she is baby contest material and she could totally win.  Of course she can!  (While we believe that Evie would win by a landslide, we are also not too naive and we're guessing he tells most parents this about their babies.)

Next on the agenda was getting Evie's immunization shots.  We were not looking forward to this event!  We fed Evie a little bit before the nurse came in with the needles.

Come on girl!  Let's get you ready for your shots.  You're strong, you can do this!

She got three shots.  One in one thigh, and two in the other.  The nurse was super fast, but this baby girl was NOT happy about the pokes.  She cried like Beau and I have NEVER seen/heard her cry before.  Her sweet face was red and tears were overflowing out of her sparkly eyes.  I could not calm this girl down for minutes.  Even singing to her wouldn't help much . . . and it usually works like magic.

Doesn't his face just break your heart?  It broke ours!

I held her as tight as I could and eventually she calmed down.  I think she mostly calmed down because she had worn herself out from such a hard cry.

Oh, how I love this girl more than words can say!

At least the nurse had some cool, purple band-aids to put on her wounds.  Besides, how can you not love those legs?  Seriously!

After she calmed down, she ate and then we made our way home.  She was SO wiped out that she took a much needed, long afternoon nap.  Then she was back to her happy, smiley self.

That doctor's visit wore me right out!

We are happy to have such a strong, healthy baby girl.  She's growing right like she should (even though it's faster than we would like) and she's our little angel.
