Today, November 16, Jane had her 2 month checkup with her pediatrician, Jennifer Russ. She did great! She smiled and cooed at Shirley, the nurse, while she was weighed and measured and did the same for Dr. Russ. She received 3 shots in her thighs and 1 oral vaccine for Hepatitis B (2nd one), Polio, Pneumoccocal, Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis, Rotavirus, and Hib. I think I cried more than Jane did.
Here are Jane's 2 month stats:
Weight: 12 pounds, 9 ounces (75-90 percentile)
Height: 23.5 inches (75-90 percentile) go, go gadget legs!
Cuteness: 100 percent (words taken straight from Dr. Russ's mouth-ha!)
Jane's digestive system is advancing and we are having fewer colic spells. Everyone is happy about this-so happy, WE could cry! I could not have survived without the bottle of magic called Colic Calm. It is all natural and FDA approved and worked wonders over Mylecon for her.
She does understand the difference between night and day though. She will sleep 4-6 hours, wake up for 30 minutes to snack, then sleep again for 3-4 hours. Yeah!! She usually likes the 2 o'clock hour to snack and wake up between 5:30 and 6am. We hope she keeps this up and I am adjusting to this schedule and like it.
Jane is making the best faces these days. She loves to mirror your facial expressions and sounds. She has been telling us some pretty funny stories with shrieks, ahhs and coos although we haven't heard a laugh yet. She is a girl on the go and likes to keep moving at all times. And this means sometimes she fights sleep, but the hairdryer is still our best friend. It helps us soothe her and put her to sleep with just a flick of the button.
