2 Week Dr. Visit

We had Ellie's two week Dr. visit last Monday, and she is growing like a weed! If her percentile stats are any reflection of her future grades in school we are set!

Weight: 9 pounds 2.5 ounces (95 percentile)
Height: 20 1/2 inches (85 percentile)
Head circumfrance: 14 1/2 inches (89 percentile)

Her breast-milk induced jaundice has gone down considerably (which we could already tell as the yellow/orange color has all but gone away) and she is doing great on her feedings! She is still a decent night sleeper, lasting 3.5-5.5 hours between feedings and going back to sleep immediately after she is done eating. That makes for one happy Momma!

This week she has started holding her head up more and more. She is also a new fan of just laying in bed and looking around! A couple times today I head her making noises and went in to check what was going on, only to find her looking around completely content.

We are still waiting for the shoe to drop, as things have been going very well thus far. We have had a few fussy days last week, but other than that it has been pretty easy (knock on wood).

We hope to have some more pictures up in the near future.
