Though She is Small, She is But Fierce

Ellie is two months old! We had our monthly pediatrician check-up today, and everything is going well. The nurse practitioner was smitten with her, and Ellie was a brave girl and took her shots like a trooper.

We also had her weighed, measured, and charted.

Weight: 9 lbs, 5 ounces (up two pounds in a month!) 15th percentile, up from the 7th percentile at her last visit.

Head Circumference: 38.6cm. 46th percentile.

Height: Um yeah...we're not exactly a tall family...20.4 inches, which puts her below the growth chart and in the -1 percentile. But she gained an inch in a month, and is growing at an appropriate rate, so the doctors aren't concerned. She's just small. And fierce.

And taking a nap right now in her crib, which makes me do a dance of joy!
