Today we had an appointment with the pediatrician to check Elena's development and begin our vaccinations. She did very well with the 3 shots she received. Of course she did cry, her face went scarlet red but soon faded and she stopped crying when I picked her up. However, it has been an exhausting evening already.
I had anxiously been waiting to see how much she has grown since our last check up. Today (9 weeks, 1 day) she weighed in at 12 pounds 3 ounces and is 24-1/4 inches long! Her weight is about the 50 percentile but her length is in the 90 percentile! I guess this explains why she is fitting well into the 3-6 month outfits we have for her.
To shed a little perspective on her parents: chunky baby Rachel weighed about 12 pounds and was about 22-1/2 inches long at this time. And Carl weighed about 15 pounds and was about 25-3/4 inches long at this time. It looks like she is taking after my weight and blending our lengths. It is going to be fun watching her grow!
