Two Months and Growing FAST!

Ana Clare had her 2 month check up on Wednesday. She is growing too fast! She is now 12 lbs. 2.5 oz. and 23 inches long. She's in the 75th percentile for both height and weight and the 90th percentile for head circumference. Her Daddy swears that means she's really smart! She did very well at her appointment. She had 3 shots and one oral vaccination and was a real trooper. She hasn't seemed to have any side effects from any of them. I had to hold her down while the nurse gave them to her - that was no fun!

She's starting to sleep better - instead of little catnaps, she's taking longer ones - right now she's been asleep for 4 hours! She even slept through me putting her in the carseat, driving to an appointment, undressing her, having an ultrasound, redressing her and putting her back in the carseat. We had to go have an ultrasound done of her back because there was some concern about a knot that Brian felt near her spine. It turns out that it is of no concern - possibly an overdeveloped muscle, but the pediatrician is sure that it is nothing.

I'm about to wake her up so she can eat before she's starving.

Picture Perfect

Clare had her first professional portraits done today. She was a real trooper. They took 72 shots and we were subjected to the ultimate sales pitch, but we talked our way down to an acceptable number of prints. We chose 9 of them and now have the CD of all the shots. Here are my and Brian's 2 (uncropped) favorites.

Continuing with the monkey theme...

It has been a challenge to get a good shot of Clare's beautiful smile...this is it!!!
