Adalynn's 2 month check up

Adalynn is 2 months old today.  Time seems to be flying by.  We had a doctor's appointment and she had 3 shots and 1 oral.  Ugh.  Lauren tried to stop them yelling, "Noooo!  You can't hurt my baby!  That'll make her cry!"  But much to her dismay she was outnumbered.  While Adalynn screamed Lauren sat with her hands over her ears in horror.  From now on Adalynn's shot appointments will take place during Lauren's preschool time!  Adalynn's poor little legs are extremely sore this evening, so wish me luck tonight. 

But on to the good news.  Adalynn is 12 pounds and 12 ounces; 90th percentile!  Little chunkins!  But she is 90th percentile in height at 23.5 inches and head circumference as well.  Soooo she's proportionate!  The doctor was amazed that she already suffers from separation anxiety when I leave the room.  Normally that's a 4 month old's trait and Dr. Jiang says it's because we've got a smart one. 

Adalynn is suffering from reflux, but nothing bad enough to treat.  So hopefully she'll grow out of it as it should get better over time.  Most infants have reflux.  The only reason why I discussed it with our pediatrician was that she "spit up" (it was more than that but less than the other) in her sleep and it didn't even wake her but woke ME instead.  A little scary, so definitely something to watch according to Dr. Jiang.  But it's not effecting her growth and she's a pretty content baby. 

Just as comparisons to her sister.  Lauren was 50th percentile in height at 22.2" and head circumference.  And 75th percentile for weight at 12 lbs 2 ounces.  

Adalynn's hitting all the milestones.  It will be interesting to compare her growth process to her sister's over the next year!
