I'm a happy growing girl!!

Our cutie pie just had her 2 month check up and is doing just fabulous. She weighs in at a whopping 12 lbs 14 oz and is 22 1/2 inches long. Right on target. The Dr. says that she is super smart and doing things that he would expect from a 4 month old. That's our girl. She holds her head so well and has even rolled over twice. She can stand with us just holding her hands and she is so very alert and social. We couldn't be happier. She did have to get two shots though and certainly was not happy about them. She did not breath between the shots either. Poor thing. Mommy got into her PICU mode and was able to handle it just fine, but then gave her baby lots of loves. Every step in this mothering process is going to make her an even better and compassionate nurse for sure. Update on the tummy issues she was having earlier: we got her started on gripe water and also discovered that she has either a sensitivity or allergy to milk and so I cut out milk from my diet, and she is a whole new baby. It was a night and day difference. The gripe water aside from helping with tummy aches and gas works wonders on hiccups. It will stop them on contact. All that together makes for a much happier baby. God has been so good to us. She is still sleeping through the night and so much more playful during the day.
