Maybe she is part Flemish Rabbit

This is kind of what I think I should feel like when I hold Violet. She was weighed at her two month check-up today. She is officially 12lbs 4oz and 23.5" long putting her in the 90% for both. That would explain why she has outgrown all her 0-3mth clothes and is nearly out of the 3-6mth clothes due to her length. Good grief. So much for the hand-me-downs I had left from Ava. Ava was a slow and steady grower. Leila shot up much like Violet has but tapered off after hitting the 12lb mark and hit the exact same weight milestones as Ava did. We will see if Violet does the same.

The rest of her visit was fantastic. All I can say, though, is that I am very happy we are doing a delayed/selective vaccination schedule. I got the paperwork for what a normal 2mth visit would consist of for vaccines. Man, there are a lot. There would have been the Hep B if not done in the hospital or at the 2wk check-up (we declined that), DTaP, the Polio, Hib, Pneumococcal, and the oral Rotavirus. WOW! That is a lot for one visit. The only thing we did today was the single dose for pertussis. I am so thankful that my dr is working with us on this issue.

  2. Aww I didn't mean to make you cry!
    Trust me, my sisters and I have not always had this type of relationship. Infact we still have our moments as adults :) But it has been a very HUGE blessing to have them by my side as we go through this roller coaster called life!

  3. Wow! She's getting big fast! My kid had been steadily in the 5% for weight and height. That used to worry me, but if you saw him, you'd know he was perfectly fine. Thanks for all the advice too. I've been doing a lot of research.
