2 Month Check-up

Ellie is almost 9 weeks old now, and yesterday she had a check-up at the Dr. She is definately a growing girl at 23 1/4 inches long (82nd percentile) and 12 lbs, 4 oz (85th percentile)! Her head circumference is 39 1/2 cm (71st percentile) so her brain is growing big too =) Even before today we knew she's been growing as more and more of her clothes are becoming too small. She's pretty much in 3-6 month everything now. She's also moved up to Size 2 diapers - after 2 recent blow-outs in Size 1! She also had her first round of immunizations, and as traumatic as it was, she recovered quickly. She's developing more of a personality every day now, and we're quickly realizing that she has a little temper as well. When she wants something - she wants it NOW!!! She's smiling a lot and likes to 'talk' when being talked to. She has her fussy times, but for the most part is a pretty laid-back, happy little girl. Her favorite thing right now is definately her Baby Einstein play mat. No matter how mad or fussy she is, it's an instant smile when the musical, blinky star comes on. She just stares and smiles...it's so cute! She also likes looking at lights and just looking around in general. She's very curious and likes to fight sleep when she'd rather look at the things around her. Bathtime is calm now. I can't say she really likes it yet, but she's definately calm and just sits there in the warm water. Here are a few pictures from the last few days and a short video of the Baby Einstein mat. She starts to fuss a little at the end of the video. Even that can become boring after a while, but for the majority of the time it's a nice little distraction allowing Mom to get a few things done!
