Ava 2 month check-up

Stats:

height: 23 1/2 inches  90%
weight: 13 lbs 11 oz   50%
Head: 15 1/4   75%

All three girls and I went to see Ava's pediatrician for her 2 month check up today.  He's gotten so busy that we had to wait 11 days past her turning 2 months old to get in, and that was with me calling 4 weeks ago. We went ahead and just made her 4 month when we left today.

According to her stats from today, she is my long and lean child. She only ranked in the 50th percentile for weight and 90% for length. When I read 50% on the piece of paper the nurse gave me I actually looked at the doctor and jokingly said, "What's wrong with her?" Audrey and Allie were both always in the 90th percentile for weight. ALWAYS. They were always 90th percentile for weight and 50% for height. But she's healthy just the same! He commented on her amazing head control and her ability to hold her weight well when you stand her up. She so far doesn't have the sensitive skin and skin issues that Audrey had/has and Allie is developing so here's hoping that continues. She cried the hardest of any of my children when she got her shots, but nothing a bottle didn't quickly cure. Later tonight she got her first dose of tylenol when she was really fussy after her nap--no doubt uncomfortable from her shots. She gave me a smile before she fell asleep, so it must have worked. :)

Assignments for 3-4 months:

Bring both hands together
put hands in her mouth (which she already does)
smile (check!)
push up on her arms to lift her head off the floor (check!)

Love our little Ava Grace!
