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!
