Today, we went to Ella's 2 month appointment. We could not believe it when we walked in and were the first ones there!! YES!! Needless to say, we did not have to wait very long to get into a room. We first went to get weighed and measured. Ella now weighs 11 pounds 9 ounces and is 22 inches long. She is between the 50th and 75th percentile for both height and weight.
We met a new doctor today, Dr. Flores. She is the most senior doctor at the practice, and very nice. She said Hi to Ella and Ella replied with a smile and some of her signature gas. Dr. Flores thought it was histerical.
The doctor gave her 4 immunizations today. Hence the band aids on her little legs above. When she got them she cried so hard. It was the first time we saw tears. We felt so bad for her, Mike held one hand and I held the other. Poor little girl, it broke our hearts to hear and see her cry like that.
The rest of the visit was great. The doctor was very impressed with Ella's strength in her neck, arms, and legs. We told her about Ella standing when she gets burped and she could not believe it. She told us to continue to swaddle her for another month to help her continue to sleep through the night. She said we have a very advanced little one and have been doing a great job keeping her active. That put a smile on our faces.
