It’s official, Clare is an exceptional baby. Even her pediatrician thinks so. OK, so the doctor might not have used the word exceptional to describe Clare, but I’m sure she meant it. We Love LOVE our pediatrician – for example, she walked into the room waving her arms and cheering “good job guys!” because she saw Clare’s height, weight and head circumference. Why was she cheering? Because our girl is at the 55% percentile for height, and the 50% for weight and head circumference. This is compared to just being at 10% for weight and head circumference when she was 5 days old. She’s growing by leaps and bounds and our pediatrician couldn’t be happier. She also noted that Clare is ‘really strong,’ ‘has great head control’ and ‘holds eye contact really well.’ Seriously, I don’t think proclaiming that Clare is exceptional is to far out of line 🙂
Two Month Check Up
On a little more traumatic note, she also got her first set of shots. She cried, of course, but got over it quickly. I think it was hardest on Daddy since he watched her little face while it happened (I looked away). We’re going to have a quiet day at home today just in case she has a bad reaction to those nasty shots. Hopefully tomorrow she’ll be better though – since I know Clare wants to see her great-grandma again.
She is beyond exceptional….
