10 Months
Saturday, October 8, 2011
Wow, I haven't seriously updated this in a while. Lizzie will be 10 months old tomorrow. I can not believe it. At her 9 month check up (9/19), she weighed 16.6 pounds, Length 26 and 1/4 inches, Head 46 and 1/2 cm. She had to have two shots but she only cried for a second. My little peanut isn't so little anymore. She is crawling everywhere and getting into everything. She doesn't listen to me at all. She is no longer eating baby food - grown up foods all the way! :) She has been sick this week. Her first cold. She has a mild fever and a mucus-like cough. But she is a lot better now. She can wave goodbye and clap. She has three teeth. I'm so proud of her. I love her so much.

6 Month Check Up
Tuesday, June 14, 2011
Today Lizzie had her check up. She weighed 14 pounds, was 25 inches long, and her head was 43 inches. I'm not sure of her percentiles. For weight and height she had been at 25 but he said her weight had dipped a little but it was fine because it was probably due to teething. Which I think it's true because she has been extra fussy and refusing to nurse. BTW it never fails when the doctor comes in the room that we are nursing.
We went and saw the other doctor last month when she was sick and he told us that the red spots she had been getting around her eyes were just because Caucasian babies get them. Well our regular doctor asked about them (because he knew she hadn't had them at birth) and said we can put vaseline on them and to make sure I keep the area clean (which I do).
She can start on stage 2 foods which is just crazy!
She also had to have FOUR shots, two in each leg and an oral. The nurse and I were talking, she was laying there happily listening to us and then that lady poked her and she SCREAMED this whimpering scream. It was the worst.
She can sit up for a long time now but can't pull herself into a sitting position, she can roll over both ways, and is scooting everywhere!

2 Month Check In
Monday, February 21, 2011
Her newest accomplishments are (maybe I should say so far):
1- Holding her head up:
2- Smiling:
3- Rolling over. She hasn't officially rolled over but the other day she was crying while I was in the bathroom and when I came out she had rolled over in her swing. So needless to stay we have to make sure we strap her in everywhere.
4- Sleeping through the night in her bassinet. She sleeps for two five hour stretches which makes me one happy momma! :)
Valentine's Day was this month and here she is all dressed up (Isn't she cute? :]):
Her 2 month check up was today (we are still behind from the ice storm). But we will be caught up by the next one. I got there early because I thought then maybe we could go back early, which we did. While we were waiting in the lobby, I had to feed her and these people sitting across from us were giving us dirty looks. I wanted to smack them. I'm feeding my baby. This is a very natural thing. Get over it. If it makes you fee uncomfortable move. There are two doctors in the practice and we saw the one we usually haven't been seeing. I didn't really care for him. She weighed 10.4 pounds (40%), 22 inches long (%25), and her head measured 40cm (%75). So she is a short, average weight baby with a big head. :) He said her spitting up wasn't reflux and he talked about the possibility of giving her food at four months....I don't know what to think about that. Well once the doctor left we waited for EVER! I poked my head out and then a nurse asked what we were waiting for, shots or to see the doctor. Then she apologized for the wait and came in. Baby girl had fallen asleep:
They had to wake her up so she could get an oral shot. And they had to give her FOUR SHOTS, two in each thigh. :C Poor baby girl cried like I have never heard. it broke my heart but I didn't cry this time! :) Which helped her get over it faster.

That's it for the monthly update! :D
One Month Check up
Wednesday, January 26, 2011
I know this post is a little late but due to the ice storm so was her appointment. Her appointment was the 20th. She weighed 8.8 pounds. She is in the 25 percentile in weight and height and the doctor said that was good. She had to get a shot. I had just calmed her down after seeing the doctor and as soon as they poked her she started wailing which made me cry. She was miserable the whole day after. :C But the doctor said she looks really good and she is growing really well. So that makes me one happy momma. :)
