Happy birthday to Roxi - she's 2 months old today. And cuter than ever, if I do say so myself. Hey, the doctor even said she was ultra cute, so it MUST be true. Rob pointed out that he is probably equally enthusiastic about his other patients. Always the pragmatist, that one.
Anyway, here are the latest stats:
- 10 lbs., 11.5 oz.: in the 50th percentile for her age
- 23" long: 75th percentile
- 15.75" head circumference: 80th percentile (and no worries about the flat spot on her noggin - it's normal and will sort itself out as she gets older and spends more time sitting up, crawling, etc.)
- A clean bill of health: Dr. P gave her the thumbs up in every category
Plus, Roxi weathered her first immunizations with style ... OK, and some screaming. She got three shots today - two in one thigh, one in the other. The needles were super huge, so I can't blame the girl for being bummed out. However, the nurse was wonderfully quick. Roxi didn't realize what was happening until the second shot, and it was all over lickety split. We popped a bottle in her mouth, and she was good to go. As for after-effects, she's been fussy. But no fever, redness or swelling.
I also have to add how wonderful our doctor is. Such a sweet guy in addition to being a great at what he does. And the staff at his office - especially the nurses - are equally brilliant. We couldn't be happier with our care (he's our doc in addition to Roxi's).
