Two Month Appointment

Well Mady had her two month appointment last Monday (she was a couple of weeks past two months) and here are her stats:

Weight: 12lbs 2 oz (60th percentile)
Height: 23 inches (50th percentile)
Head Size: 15 inches (25th percentile)

She has a tiny little peanut head!  She got three shots when she was there and it was one of the saddest things I have ever seen.  The minute the nurse stabbed her (yes, stabbed her!) with the needle, her eyes opened wide, she dropped her paci, and then started screaming!  It was a cry I have never heard before and it just broke my heart.  I wanted to tell the nurse to just forget the other two and that we were leaving but of course I couldn't and I had to watch her get two more. Poor thing was still sniffling when we got home.  She got extra spoiled that day and was in her mommy's arms a lot.

As for her reflux, it wasn't getting much better with the maalox or the prescription medicine so at her appointment we decided to put her on prevacid and see how that worked.  Since then, she has been a different baby.  She is much more content and I am so happy to see that it is working.  Putting her down for naps and bedtime is a lot easier.  It would take her forever to settle down and after a lot of crying she would finally go down.  We are still dealing with the 45 minute intruder as far as her daytime naps go.  45 minutes comes and she is up and while it wouldn't bother me if she was really awake and rested, she is still tired and cranky but won't go back down.  It is definitely getting better and we are getting more longer naps than we use to so maybe we are turning that corner as well.  We'll see...

The past couple of days she has discovered her voice and now all she does is talk.  She loves when you talk and sing to her  and she will just talk right back to you.  It is the cutest thing!  She also talks to her butterflies on her gym, and the mobile on her swing, and all of the ceiling fans.  I think she might be a talker when she grows up!  While she has learned she has a voice, she has forgotten how to roll over!  She did it for a few days like a pro.  Everytime that I put her on her tummy she would just roll back over on her back but now she just can't do it.  She gets so frustrated too because she wants to get on her back and she tries so hard but she just can't do it anymore!  It'll come back to her eventually, lol.



I can't believe that we'll have a three month old in just a couple of weeks! Below are some of her latest pictures.
