Today was Alexa's 2 month check up. She's healthy, happy, and doing great except for her weight. She weighs right at 9lbs. only gaining 13 ounces since her last visit. I was a little surprised. I know she's tiny, but she's always been small-even when she was inside of me they were doing extra ultrasounds as I wasn't measuring "big enough." With that said, I don't think she will be super big. I explained to the doctor how she's been my best baby, nurses great and even sleeps through the night. I always felt that if she was hungry, she would wake up. She said that some babies are just super easy and don't let you know that they need to eat!! She suggested I give her a few formula bottles a day until she gains more weight. I'm not opposed to doing it, I just think I need to make a more conscious effort to nurse her more often. So I type this as I wait to feed her one more time before I go to bed!
Some stats and milestones:
Weight: 9lbs
Length: 22 inches
She smiles, coos, and follows objects
Enjoys her bath and being outside
Loves her swing and watching her mobile
Rarely spits ups and poops(went 10 days, another long story!)
Such a sweet baby!
Loves her swing from Mimi and Papa Tommy-takes most naps right there!
There's a baby picture of my dad changing me at this age. The look on her face and the angle of the photo reminds me of that exact picture.
