Last week we took Charlotte to the doctor for her 2-month checkup. She was very happy in the lobby, not knowing what awaited her in the exam room -- shots! We got her new stats: she now weights 12.5 lbs. (75-90th percentile), is 23 inches long (75%) and her head circumference is in the "97+" percentile. It takes a large head to hold that smart brain of hers. The doctor was pleased with her other developmental progress - holding up her head, grasping for objects that enter her field of vision. He encouraged us to make progress toward "independent sleeping." Up until now, she has spent most of her sleeping hours on our chests. She strongly protests sleeping on her back and is generally uncomfortable with sleeping alone. Who can blame her -- it wasn't that long ago that she lived in a warm, cozy, dark womb. But she will eventually have to sleep on her own, even if it's in the co-sleeper right next to our bed.
And here are some great pics from Grandma and Grandpa Washington's recent visit!
