2 month check up

Well, today was dooms day-sorta. The inevitable 2 month check up with the shots :( At least she is still little enough that she doesn't resist too much and doesn't recognize the nurses to know she doesn't like them. It was so sad to see her get her shots. I'm not gunna lie, i had little tears welling up in my eyes but I was SO PROUD of Makaela. She did so great! She only voiced her discomfort and pain for a very brief time, and she wasn't even screaming. She cries and screams louder when she gets a bath--something is wrong with this picture :) And she recovered so quickly and was just bright eyed and back to her normal self immediately after they were done. And thankfully, she hasn't even been any more fussy today because of them. She's such a big girl and i'm so proud of her :) Her stats are:

weight: 9lb 6oz
length: 23 in.
head:15cm.

She is below the 50th percentile in all of those measurements, but the doctor was not concerned at all. He said her body is very proportionate for those measurements and her development thus far. He said she is "just a petite little thing" which is somewhat strange to me because clearly neither of her parents are "petite little things." I surely do not shop in the petite department, but so far she is (i.e. still wearing newborn clothes and swimming in 0-3 month clothes).
In regards to her strength, i'm sure she's in about the 750th percentile. When the doctor put her on her tummy to check out her back, she was pushing herself up with her arms to which he replied "oh my, look at that." When I told him she started rolling over 2 weeks ago he said "oh my, thats early! Not unheard of, but wow!" I've decided there must be something to be said for being over due:)

The past month has been nothing short of incredible! We are continuing to love being parents to this sweet little (and I mean little) blessing of ours! We have conversations with her all the time which go something like"
Makaela: "aaaahhhh"
Mom: "aaaaahhhh"
Makaela: "aaaaaahhhhh"
Mom: "aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh"
Periodically she'll go with another vowel sound :) She squeaks and squeals which is probably the most adorable thing I've ever seen. She just discovered a new toy up and grandma and grandpa's which they were so gracious to let us bring home with us! It's not a baby gym, but very similar and oh my does she ever love that thing! She will just lay under it and ooohhh and aaaahhh and squeak and squeal at those hanging plastic smiling stars :) She loves them to death and it is so cute!! I'm trying to get a good video of it to share because it will melt your heart :)

Thats about it for now. She's great. We love her. Over and out.
