Two Month Stats

We had Harper's Two Month Well-Baby check-up this afternoon!  Our pediatrician is Dr. Cox with After Hours Pediatrics, and we LOVE her.  She is such a genuine, sweet woman who is definitely on the same page with Josh and I when it comes to Harper's well-being.  Just can't say enough good things about her. 

Anywho, our visit went wonderfully!  Harper is growing exactly as she should. 



Official doctor comments/measurements are in:

Weight:
11.15 pounds (53rd percentile)

Length:
23 inches (70th percentile-tall girl!)

Motor Skills:
Harper is chewing on her hands like crazy!  This used to be one of her 'hunger' signals, but now it's changed into a learning/entertainment thing for her.  She's also cooing, smiling, and giggling.  Doc was super happy to see her developing so well at two months.

Mommy Worries Put To Rest:
Harper has been a huge spit-upper since day one.  It's always made me upset.  I hate when she just does a giant projectile vomit after she's eaten--it always looks like it was everything she just ate.  But, Doc assured us that it was seriously no big deal.  Her growth and development is looking great-so she's obviously getting everything she needs.  And since she's usually not in pain and crying when this happens, it's really not anything I need to worry about.  She said that around 4 months her esophageal sphincter will strengthen, and this is usually about the time babies stop erping up so much.  Yay!  Hopefully only two more months of chronic baby spit-up!

Other Comments:
Harper is super sleeper!  And Harper has b-e-a-utiful skin!
