Our 2 month check up

We went to see Dr. Davidson on Thursday, Sept. 10th. It was our 2 month check up and our first vaccines. Now that we begin looking at the percentile and growth curve, it makes me realize just how tiny my girls are.

Addison: Is now 9 pounds 5 ounces. She is 21 inches long. She is in the 10th percentile and is on the very bottom line of the growth curve.

Ashlyn: Is now 8 pounds 2.5 ounces. She is 20 1/2 inches long. She is in the less than 3 percentile and is still just below the growth curve.

Dr. Davidson says not to worry and that they will be a lot better by their next visit, which is in November. He says that you can't judge anything by their size and weight at this point.

Our first shots hurt me more than they hurt the girls! Addison cried--screamed--but she was calmed down very easily. Ashlyn squealed this really high pitched noise and it made us all laugh. She did cry too and was calmed down very easily. It made them run a fever for several hours and we gave them Tylenol for the first 12 hours after their shots. All in all they did really good and I was happy!
