Two month Check up- OOH BIG BABY

I took Shayla to the doctor today for her two month check up and shots. (she is actually two and a half months old). We got there today and the first thing they do is weigh the baby. They tell you to strip them down to their diapers. Shayla weighed 13lbs 5 oz. What a big girl. They also did her height while she was there and she was 25 inches long!! What a big girl. No wonder she feels so heavy. The nurse showed me on the chart where they mark the height and weight. It is like a scale and a normal size at her age would have leveled into the 20 to 70th percentile. Her height was not in the 95th percentile, it was ABOVE IT! There was no line for how big she is. Her weight was at the top of the 95th percentile. That is why she is outgrowing clothes left and right, she is a HUGE baby. Since she is the spitting image of Jon, I assume this tallness trait is from his side of the family. Jon is not that tall, but his dad and brother are.

She was sooo good today. She just lay there and looked at that doctor while the doctor did her exam. She even smiled at her. She did not cry once. She likes new people and usually does really good. She especially likes men, she will smile big for men, but her doctor is of the female persuasion, so we only got a small smile. She is the whitest little thing I have ever seen. She was laying there on that white paper they line the table with and her white skin just blended right in. haha. camouflage. Alysha was the opposite. She had an olive skin tone, like mine, from the very beginning.

Then she got her shots!! Mommy was more nervous than anything. She had to get four shots today. FOUR! She did really good. She just cried a little bit. I expected her to wail and scream, but she did not. She cries louder than that when we take the bottle out of her mouth mid-feeding. So, all in all, it was a good visit. We do not have to go back until her four month check up. I am so blessed she has been completely healthy. No sick baby visits as of yet. I LOVE the doctor we saw today, she was really sweet.
