1 Month Check Up

Good report from Dr. Morrison! Yeah!!!

9 lbs 15 oz
22.5 inches long

Ok, at birth she supposedly was 21.5". At her one week she was 19 3/4". Someone mismeasured. I think 3" would be a significant amount of growth for 3 weeks, that's an inch a week. So maybe she was 21.5" long at birth?!

She's gained almost 2 lbs since our last visit (when she was a week old). He said she's just perfectly healthy & looks good. The baby acne is perfectly normal & does better left untouched. The cradle cap we're going to try some Selsum Blue but just be EXTRA careful that it doesn't get in her eyes. They have prescription stuff but he said the SB is effective & cheaper.

The best thing about the appointment...wasn't him saying she was the perfect patient. It was how happy she was when we were there. We had a better experience at the scale this time. She really got into the talking and she did lots of cooing!! She was smiling and just happy as could be. I SO wish I would have taken my camera!!! I'm hoping she'll have some coo/talk time with Brian soon so he can see it. It's so sweet when babies do that!!!!

Our friend Hollie was in the waiting room as we were leaving. She was dressed up as a Punk Rock Girl (something at the High School). Carmen really looked her over, she had some pretty pink hair and candy striped fake eyelashes.

Next month's checkup...shots. : I think Dad needs to take her to that checkup!!!

Little Miss is completely sacked out in my arms which is making it pretty hard to type. I think we'll go outside to greet Daddy who should be home any minute!
