2 Month Check Up--9 1/2 weeks old

We have a "string bean" as her Daddy called her today! She is 24 inches long and 10lbs 12oz for weight. I thought we had passed the 11lb mark, but I guess not! I guess she just wants to be in her 0-3month clothes throughout her 0-3month time! :) This is why Daddy called her a string bean--50th %ile in weight, but 90th %ile in length!!!! Oh my goodness!! Then, when the doctor looked at her head circumference numbers, she got concerned because it looked like her head shrunk (apparently, Zoe visited a witch doctor when we had our backs turned?), but the doctor re-measured, and she is still in the 75th %ile in that. I don't have the number written down, so I don't remember what it is, but I'm glad the number is still where it's supposed to be!

Zoe had her 2 month shots today. She got a vaccine for Rotavirus, DTaP, Hep B, and a few others I can't remember off the top of my head. One liquid and 3 shots. She cried so hard she turned bright red and tooted! Mommy cried a little with her, but after it was over, Mommy picked her up right away and she settled right down. When we got in the car, Zoe fell asleep before we were even out of the parking lot! She slept long enough for Mommy and Daddy to have lunch, then woke up long enough to get some baby Tylenol for the pain. She fell asleep, woke up an hour later for her lunch, and then fell asleep again. At almost 4pm, she is still sleeping. This is common when babies get their vaccinations. Mommy and Daddy are just there to keep Zoe comfortable. Mommy took her to Target, and she doesn't think Zoe even realized she was out!

This weekend was a very busy weekend in many ways. Saturday, Uncle J had Passover dinner for us. Zoe thought that Uncle J and Auntie D's dining room was SUCH a fun place! She spent dinner in her car seat smiling and laughing at the walls and ceiling and Daddy. What a good little girl!! Sunday was her Auntie J's baby shower. She was just a great hostess!! Zoe helped keep all kinds of people occupied, from her Auntie P, Auntie D, to her Grandma B and Grandma C. Auntie D and Grandma C each got to feed her a bottle! Auntie J got lots and lots of toys for Cousin J...Zoe was eyeing them, but found a striped gift bag much more fun than the boy toys!!

Zoe just reminded me that last weekend, Grandma B came up and kicked Mommy and Daddy out so she could baby sit and Mommy and Daddy could go on a date. It was hard, but they left for two hours and went to dinner and did some shopping. We knew it'd be hard, but it was worth it. They needed to spend some time JUST them. There will be more dates, and I'm SURE more baby sitters will be needed! We've had plenty of offers!!
