Hattie's 2 Month Checkup

Hattie had her 2 month old Dr. appointment this afternoon.  I was dreading it knowing she would have shots.  I hated seeing the boys get their shots because of the pain I knew they were in.

We have a great doctor.  He talks with Hattie and is so kind and gives compliments to me!  Hattie weighed 12 lbs 11 oz. (89%), was 22.5 inches long (69%) and her head was 39.5 cm (93%).  She is growing really well and everyone was happy with how she is doing.  She has a hemangioma on the top of her head, which should go away eventually.  Hattie was wide awake during her exam and was talking and cooing up a storm with the Dr.  She kicked and flapped her arms and he said she was very engaging and aware of her surroundings given her age.  He also said she was very precocious and verbal. :)

Then came the shots. Ug, the dreaded shots.  I got to hold her arms and then she cried and screamed so loud it broke my heart.  She had one little tear in each eye and her head got all red from all the crying.  I just don't like that. I'm so glad it's over, though.

Hattie is growing and getting bigger every day and it's so fun to see!

 

Just to compare, Chase weighed 11lbs 9oz, and Owen was 11lbs 5oz at their 2 month checkup.
