Two month check up

Sophia went in for her two-month check up today. She is now eleven pounds and one ounce and she is twenty-three and three quarters tall/long. Her weight and head circumference, which I didn’t get numbers for, are in the fiftieth percentile and her height/length is in the ninetieth percentile. She’s going to be tall and skinny – go figure. :P The only question I had for the doctor was about her toes. The little toe on both of her feet lay hidden under the toe next to it. The nurse that took her footprints at the hospital made us aware of this right away. She handed us a copy of the footprints saying, “I swear she really does have five toes on each foot, but I couldn’t get them all flat on the paper.” The doctor says that it’s fine and won’t cause any problems with her walking because it’s not “fixed” in that place, as in he can move it out. I have noticed that when she flexes her toes that little one does come out from under its hiding place, but I was still concerned.

Sophia got her first round of shots today (second for Hepatitis B). She shrieked with each shot. Actually, she wasn’t too thrilled laid out on the paper covered doctor chair either, even though she was on top of her blanket. After the three pokes, she got a band-aid on each thigh and I picked her up and hugged her. She stopped crying immediately. According to the nurse, Sophia shot her a look that said, “You can’t hurt me now, I have my mommy!” Sophia was a little fussier than usual tonight, but that’s understandable.

  1. Thanks Amy :) I know it’s a very tiny thing to be concerned about in the long list of things to think about as a mom, but still. I had to wear a brace between my ankles to keep my feet straight as a toddler, so I worry about her having to do that as well yet I also do everything like a “normal person” :P I’ve just never seen anyone whose toes overlap except in women that insist on wearing six-inch heals for twenty years.
