She weighed in at only 16 pounds, 9.5 ounces but she measured up at 27 inches. So, in the last two months, she basically gained 2 inches and 1 pound. Once my girls get mobile though, they always begin to thin out.
Sufficed to say that she is doing very well. She is developmentally ahead but her sleep needs some work. I'm not sure how much of her sleep troubles are the fact we've had 3 colds in as many weeks, her 6 month growth spurt, the fact she is a very sensitive sleeper, or her insatiable desire to suck anything. In fact, last Wednesday, she discovered she could calm herself by sucking her thumb. (You can see her do it once in the video.) Three months ago I would have paid her to learn that. Now, I'm not so sure. We'll see how it goes. Sometimes she sleeps well, sometimes not so much. Hopefully that will improve over the next 3 months.
She was all smiles for the nurses and doctors though. And she doesn't just smile with that adorable toothless grin. She throws her arms and lunges her body forward. She smiles with all she's got. It is so precious. She even sat through her first shot just staring wondering what it was but didn't make a sound or shed a single tear.
Then there was the second shot. That one she did get upset over but a little late lunch and she was fine, playing with her toes while we checked out.
She is doing very well and growing up much too fast but we are loving every snuggle and toothless grin we can get in the meantime.
