2 Month Check Up

Today we went for Olivia's 2 month check up. We always make appointments for 8:15am so that we can avoid patient traffic (with it being sickly season and all), but also because she's our Morning Bird. She was doing great, having been fed and out and about, with her smiles in tow. All smiles until it was time for Dr. Tanaka to do her checks on Olivia. For the next 10 minutes she not only cried with big drops of tears, but screamed her head off. Not only did she scream, but she demonstrated her ability to scream louder as the seconds passed! Now this is before her 2 month vaccinations (1 oral, 2 needles). By the time the nurse came to our room to give the shots, Olivia managed to calm down and was dozing. When laid back down on the exam table she began to cry again. So we were all bracing for the screams, but to our bewilderment, the nurse gave her her 2 shots, Olivia screamed some more until I held her and she quieted right down in less than 30 seconds! After that she looked a little sullen, but went back to dozing. So odd! Just goes to show...you never know!

Here are her 2 Month stats (click for 1 Month):
Head: 39 cm (70 percentile)
Length: 22 3/4 inches (70 percentile)
Weight: 12 lbs (80 percentile) --eesh, within 1 month she got bumped up ~20 percentile...I better lay off the Vanilla Breve Lattes....


Last Wednesday, Dec 2nd, marked her 8th week. We too our "monthly" photos then, versus today. We are trying to do similar shots so that we can compare them (click for 1 Month) later on in terms of her growth and development.
