She is "Petite"


Ari had her two month checkup this week (I know she is almost 3 months, Mommy is a little behind on life) and she had her first rounds of shots. :( Super sadders. I know most of you have already been through that, but I just feel for her. She was being such a good girl, content to have the doctor look in her ears/mouth and whatnot. Then all the sudden she is stabbed with three needles, no wonder she screamed. I haven't ever heard her scream so high and loud. It was traumatizing for her. Good thing children tend to forget fast, it didn't take her too long to calm down.

She came in at 9.8 lbs, only in the 5th percentile. The doctor said he wasn't concerned at this point, but we will watch it. She seems to be content with the food she is getting and she is growing, so we will keep an eye on it. He said she is just 'petite' which I guess is a good thing. We like her petite, but I hope she isn't doomed to being any shorter than her mom, I think I was short enough, wouldn't have liked being any shorter. Doesn't help your basketball game very much! ;) Maybe she won't be a ball-er like her mom.

She is so cute and petite! Dont worry at all, Zoee is the exact same way! She weighted 11.10 at her 7 month app, then we switched to formuala and now at 8.5 months shes 14! haha. They sure grow the way they want. Isnt it super fun having a petite babe? They can fit into their small clothes longer! Everyone loves a little baby : )

So I haven't checked your blog forever because my invitation is under a different address than the one I usually use . . . BUT, it's so fun to see your baby and your new life! She is absolutely adorable! Skinny, yes. A doll, yes. Congratulations!
