You saw your pediatrician today for your 2 month checkup and she was quite impressed by you! She was very happy with your growth, stats below:
Height at birth: 20 inches 2 weeks: 20 1/2 inches 9 weeks: 23 1/2 inches (75th percentile, meaning you are taller than 75% of children your age.)
Weight at birth: 7 lbs. 6 oz. 2 week checkup: 8 lbs. 8 oz. 9 weeks: 11 lbs. 7.5 oz. (60th percentile)
Head circumference at 9 weeks: 38
As soon as Dr. Day picked you up and said "Hi Camryn!" you started smiling and laughed and she was blown away! She said babies don't begin laughing until around 4 months of age, and you've been laughing for the last 2-3 weeks. She asked if we were sleeping well and when we told her that you're sleeping through the night, she couldn't believe it. I told her how you slept from 7-11pm, 11-6:30am, and then napped all morning until our 8:40am appointment and she said "you need to clone that baby, she's amazing!" I don't know about cloning you, but we agreed that you are in fact amazing, we got so lucky with you! Mommy thought that karma for all things I did to my mom as child would come back around to me through you....I guess I have the rest of your life to wait for you to help Grandma give me my payback! For now, you can continue being our little angel baby! :)
You had to get your first round of vaccines today and I'm not sure who it was more traumatic for, you or me. We both sobbed, so we'll call it a tie. You had 2 shots in your left leg, and a tetanus shot in your right. I imagine they give the tetanus in a separate leg since they tend to be very sore for days after. I remember my last tetanus shot being sore like a Charlie-horse for days after. One of your shots on your right leg left a rectangular red mark with multiple needle marks and it bled, poor baby! You were laying on the table being cute, and then the first shot (big rectangle one) went in and your face went immediately into an open mouthed cry face but you were so upset that no noise came out for about 3 seconds, and then you started the saddest cry I have EVER heard!! You rarely cry, but even when you do it's more of a yelling fussy cry, but this was a sad and "I'm in pain" cry. I fell apart. The nurse quickly gave the 2nd shot, which you become stunned over, and then the 3rd....you had tears rolling down the side of your face and your little eye lashes were soaked, as were mine. Daddy scooped you up immediately and started loving on you, and I stole you as soon as I put myself back together. From the look on Daddy's face, I thought he might cry with us....or hurt the nurse who kept stabbing his baby girl! You were back to yourself within about 3 minutes. Here are pictures of your boo-boo's:
"no more pictures mom!!"
Heres a video of you after the doctors appointment, obviously you're just fine!
Next appointment is in 2 months, no shots that time, yay!!
You had so much fun at your first pool party on July 31st at Brent & Jess's! You wore your adorable single strap bikini but we stripped you naked after you took a dip in the pool with Daddy and let you lay out under the cabanas and nap.
You really liked being naked and laying in the breeze. You napped for about an hour like this.
Hanging out in your car seat, showing off those chunky baby thighs in your bikini.
I think you were a little cross-eyed trying to look at Daddy's hand while he blocked you from the sun!
We sure had fun taking you to the pool for the first time, and we cant wait to start your baby swim classes! The cold pool water didn't bother you, i think you enjoyed cooling off and hanging out with Daddy and the the boys.
You love your swing, and you LOVE those birds! This is you on your 8 week birthday talking to your birdies.
You have been sleeping so well lately. The last 2 nights you slept from 9pm-10:15, 10:30-5, 5:15-9:30, Daddy and I are thrilled! You enjoy your sleep very much, we have that in common. :)
You have been trying to stand up and jump whenever we hold you, so Nana and I found you a jumper at Target, but you have to wait a little longer to use it when your neck muscles are a little more developed. You are able to sit in your bumbo chair now for quite some time, and we can see that you are becoming stronger every day!
Your beautiful eyes have started turning more green/blue, so maybe you'll have my eye color. <3

Passed out in your swing. You were dreaming and kept throwing up your arms!
You are changing every day, and we love to watch you learn new things and discover the world around you. You are so observant and fascinated by everything.
