Today Beatrice had her two month well-baby visit at the pediatrician’s office. She’s such a cute little girl! I love that she smiles so much and is just happy. She hardly ever cries and when she wakes during the night it’s just her little moving around we hear.
Here are her stats:
Weight: 12lbs, 9oz. 95th percentile
Height/Length: 23″. 75th percentile
Head circumference: 41cm. 90th percentile
She also received her two month vaccinations. That was pretty much the worst thing to happen to us since she was born! Poor girl, she’s such a joyous baby and all afternoon she’s been smiling, then wincing and then crying. Hopefully she’ll keep sleeping and will feel better in the morning.
- All cuddled up in the swing
She does not want to lie flat right now, I think being in the swing helps her to keep her legs still. She’s enjoying the swing and has been sleeping there pretty well, I was holding her most of the afternoon, but we were getting a little hot and sweaty!
Here are some other big milestones from the last week or so:
Sleeping in her own room for the first time May 12, 2010
Strollin' with Aunt Megan May 14, 2010
We also went on our first family roadtrip this weekend! We visited Jonathan’s brother Rusty in Yakima and stayed over night. Beatrice did pretty well in the car, but upon arrival in Yakima, she was cranky because she was hungry. While I was nursing her in the backseat of our car, she managed to fill her pants to overflowing and had poo all up her back! Thankfully, I was able to hold a burp cloth back there so she could finish eating and then we went into the restaurant to change her. To add injury to insult, I took her back to the restroom and they had two doors, so I pushed the first one open and went to rush her into the bathroom only to have the door stop on the stupid garbage can and bash her in the head! So I had a hot, sweaty, poopy baby that was now crying loudly! I was also hot and sweaty and crying, but we managed to get her changed and we both calmed down and enjoyed a nice dinner. She seems to be okay in the head so I think we’re clear there and I’m pretty sure the stain came out of her onesie. Oh, parenting. I’m still waiting for the day when I don’t think one of two things: “What a miracle!” or “Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap!” while tearing up a bit.
