pediatric update

we close out the week with a pediatric update from annie's 2 month checkup.

we realize the appointment was on monday, march 30 and we're only now getting around to posting the update, but hey, second child ... it happens.

anyway, here are the stats:

10 pounds, 15.5 ounces (let's just call it 11 lbs., shall we?)
22 inches long
39 cm head circumference


dr. kornfeld said that her weight was perfect. she had gained exactly the right amount to maintain her curve on the growth chart at 50th percentile. not too little, not too much. her height puts her between 25th and 50th percentile but it is so hard to measure them at this age that they seem not to pay too much attention. she seems pretty long to us!

she continues to have a blocked tear duct which is causing a fair amount of ... what's the techncial term?? ... oh yeah, eye goop, but will hopefully resolve itself soon.

and the umbilical granuloma she has did not make enough progress by itself so it was cauterized. guess that means no bellybutton ring for annie ... at least not for a while. but the silver nitrate did give it a cool looking "bling" effect.
